No, completly unrelated.

Basically like this:

std::stable_sort(editor_objs.begin (), editor_objs.end (), z_pos_sorter())

Due to the Groundpiece rewrite stuff I did a few weeks back, it should
be enough to add a ObjectManager::z_pos_sort() at the right places
(everywhere where the list of objects is changed), you can currently
press 's' to call the sort manually.

The worldMap (the thing with the 'Vulcano Island' thing,
src/worldmap/) has nothing to do with the editor and is basically
completly seperate from the game engine.
