Layering for Carousel Effect
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hB3KBk5n5yKs79wlvsWlEZt96Qhbh1Rn/view?usp=sharing
The above video illustrates the layer order issue I am having with this effect. As the person in the front of the carousel moves toward the back, they should be underneath the person rotating to the front of the carousel and so forth. How would I achieve this effect without manually creating new layers and reordering them every time a person is to pass in front or behind?

A little 2.5D trickery may be the ticket here. Create a solid, and a circular mask path for you to reference. Then place the little dudes around the circle. Parent their position to the solid. When you spin the circle, they should spin with it, retaining their position.
Now flip all the layers to 3D, and create a camera. Select all the little dudes, and set them to Orient To Camera. Rotate the solid around the X axis, so it tilts back. Now you can use a rotation around the layer’s Z axis to make the circle spin around, and the little dudes will now rotate in 3D space, following the motion. Now just make the solid invisible, and you have a carousel controlled by the solid’s Z rotation. The dudes will automatically occlude correctly, because they’re in 3D space.
I have used a similar trick in this video, at 2:02 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BST6q4pnAhs
The carousel rotates vertically rather than horizontally, but you get the idea.
