Hello! I’m facing an issue regarding the depth/sorting property.

I have a container which contains a text element (let’s call it **ContentContainer** ). The **ContentContainer** is a child of another container (let’s call it **ParentContainer** ). The **ParentContainer** is created and added to the scene. For now, everything is fine.

However, when the user click, a gameObject (ellipse) is created directly on the scene. Is there a way to have the ellipse behind every container? At the moment, the ellpise is on top of everything.

Thanks
