    Can I change the layer/order of a Text2DRenderer so that it's in front of other things?

    It's possible with a Sprite2DRenderer, but there doesn't seem to be an option for that for a Text2DRenderer.

    Thanks for your reply. That component doesn't seem to work with a Text2DRenderer, only with a Sprite2DRenderer.

    This is how I have set up the entity:

    The text is always behind sprites with an order above 0

    It does work with the LayerSorting component now, not sure what I changed.
    It does not show it in the editor or in the game view, so that got me a bit confused.
