How to reproduce:
1. Ensure that the "LastSceneManagerSetup.txt" file is not present in the project’s Library folder
2. Open the attached project "IN-133198"
3. Open the "Menu" Scene
4. Enter Play Mode
5. In the Game View, select "Play" > "Local" > "Load Level 1"
6. In the loaded scene, press 'Enter', 'J' and 'Enter' again on your keyboard to spawn in the character
7. Observe how the character sprite holds the sword
8. Close the Editor
9. Repeat steps 2-7

Actual result: The handle of the sword is hidden behind the character's hand when the project is loaded for the first time, but appears in front of it after restarting the Editor
Expected result: The handle of the sword is always rendered behind the character’s hand
