I think it would be a good idea for text sprites to follow the standard sp_que rules, but they should default to a really high que. Or perhaps 0 would mean always on top for a text sprite, since the usual "go in Y order" meaning wouldn't make much sense for text.

i like the que idea, like text have que of 10000 but you can do like

&sam = say("crapped my trousers",1);
sp_que(&sam,14);

Or if you don't want to waste a local variable:

say("crapped my trousers",1);
sp_que(&last_text,14);
