For each tile, sort its list of object indices by layer (or actual depth). Because list lengths are short, an insertion sort or a network sort is faster than a quicksort.
The "Object Tiler" refers to a specialized allocator and screen-space partitioner that treats every visual element as a first-class object . Unlike traditional renderers that push vertices in a linear stream, the Oberon Object Tiler organizes the screen into dynamic tiles (typically 32x32 or 64x64 pixel blocks). Each object is assigned to the specific tiles it intersects. This tiling occurs not at the application level, but deep within the rendering pipeline, often leveraging GPU compute shaders.

If you build analytics dashboards (e.g., Grafana, Tableau), notice how they struggle with resizing. The Oberon Tiler's "binary split" algorithm guarantees that every visualization has exactly the space it needs, with zero pixel waste. Implementing an "Oberon Layout Engine" in React would solve the "flexbox hell" of resizing charts. For each tile, sort its list of object
Oberon Object Tiler is a long-standing, specialized macro for CorelDRAW designed to automate the process of arranging multiple objects on a page to minimize material waste. Developed by of Oberon, it is widely regarded as a more flexible alternative to standard print preview tools for creating repeating patterns or preparing layouts for print.
