There is the possibility to render the paperdolls in whichever order you want.
Go to server -> config
In config you can find this:
<!--Paperdoll is rendered in the following order when facing up. If you want to change when each piece of equipment gets rendered simply swap the equipment names.-->
Under that you can choose the order in which the paperdolls are rendered, the first in the list gets rendered first, and the last gets rendered last.
Do this for every direction based on how you want the paperdolls to be shown.
