I was under the impression that if you called, for example,

dbSprite(spriteID1, 0, 0, imgID1);
dbSprite(spriteID2, 0, 0, imgID2);

that the second sprite (spriteID2) would be drawn "on top" of the first sprite (spriteID1).

EDIT - I'm a dummy, read over the documentation again and found the priority control function. Still would be interested in how exactly darkGDK assigns its own priorities when the user doesn't explicitly, out of curiosity.

By default, a sprite is layered by the image number, lowest to highest. A sprite using image number 2 will obscure a sprite using image number 1.
