"Eppur si muove".
is not possible to success overlaping billboards with transparencies mixing imposters for more than 2 skinmeshes or imposters for 1 skinmeshes in combination with other skinmeshes.
while you can -using custom scripted solutions- order the imposters, all the imposters for EACH skinmesh are draw in the same drawcall, meaning this that if the required order to overlap your transparencies have 1 imposter for skinmesh A between 2 imposters for skinmesh B, all the imposters for A, or B, will be drawed first, therefore your order solution will be ignored and overlaping problems will appear. the same history happens with imposters mixed with single skinmeshes.
unhappily, all the "possible 'tools'" 3dRad provides cannot deal with "the impossible"...
note:
you actually can success overlaping transparencies in billboard mode, BUT! for this you need to use different skinmeshes (one skinmesh for each billboard, therefore, one drawcall for each billboard). notice Im always refering to imposters, because use one skinmesh for each billboard, when you need A LOT, for make for example a forest, would be just insane.
