This is intentional for performance reasons, see Viewport.physics_object_picking_sort

Should maybe be documented in more places

[iiiron]

oh~ thank you very much, it has troubled me for a long time.

This is very important infomation, it should be written in InputEvent

Is the following description is not right in defualt? until change Viewport.physics_object_picking_sort to TRUE

[AThousandShips]

That part links to ObjectPicking which includes this information, so that part should be clear enough

It should be mentioned in _input_event though
