Help with Entity Order

Hey guys this is my first post for help on here.

How do I choose what order entitys are drawn without using entityorder? if i use this it slows down my games majorly.

The problem I have is I set up a camera to work with a 2d environment and if i draw entities all at the same z position they tend to be on top of each other the closer to the center of the screen they are.

I need to be able to have some things always below others.

what is the best way to render 3d objects in a 2d style game?

Thank you.

You need to look for the CameraProjectMode command. This will allow you to change the way the camera draws your entities. Basically, there is no perspective anymore, and you adjust how close the camera is with camerazoom() command. Sorry i can't be of more help, but i haven't used this much myself.
