5087733b2d74ed1484c48d29e7a309a8e2f6fa1f fixes z sorting. The Blender version uses black letters on the positive axies. When the cursor is near enough to activate a handle the letter appears in white. That's great user interaction and would be nice to have.

Someone who really cares can sort the balls by z axis and draw them in the right order. That ain't me, babe.
