May be you should try attaching depth/normal maps to tile. Let shader use zbuffer to sort for you. Similar to https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/2-5d...

Most 2d engines use shader system underneath, it easier to write a shader to solved all the z-sorting problems. Only minimal 3d maths and billboarding(tile) are all you need.

Unfortunately SFML removed that option from their frame work. Otherwise I would!
