-			If [code]true[/code], this [CanvasItem] and its [CanvasItem] child nodes are sorted according to the Y position. Nodes with a lower Y position are drawn before those with a higher Y position. If [code]false[/code], Y-sorting is disabled.
-			You can nest nodes with Y-sorting. Child Y-sorted nodes are sorted in the same space as the parent Y-sort. This feature allows you to organize a scene better or divide it into multiple ones without changing your scene tree.
+			If [code]true[/code], this and child [CanvasItem] nodes with a lower Y position are rendered in front of nodes with a higher Y position. If [code]false[/code], this and child [CanvasItem] nodes are rendered normally in scene tree order.
+			With Y-sorting enabled on a parent node ('A') but disabled on a child node ('B'), the child node ('B') is sorted but its children ('C1', 'C2', etc) render together on the same Y position as the child node 'B'. This allows you to organize the render order of a scene without changing the scene tree.
+			Nodes sort relative to each other only if they are on the same [member z_index].

 			[b]Note:[/b] Changing the Z index of a [Control] only affects the drawing order, not the order in which input events are handled. This can be useful to implement certain UI animations, e.g. a menu where hovered items are scaled and should overlap others.
