Opengl transparency issues

[oscar_spencer]

it seems to me that when i use opengl to draw transparent textures,
the ordering is important to the final outcome.

apparently i must reverse order the drawing of all of my transparent
textures so that the pixels already drawn behind them are the correct ones.

is there any way to change this, so that i dont need to order my drawing?

im using an alpha testing function as follows:
glEnable(GL_ALPHA_TEST);
glAlphaFunc(GL_GREATER, 0);

im also using a depth test:
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glDepthFunc(GL_LEQUAL);

any help is good! thanks.
