Control feature rendering order in QGIS with plugin

Question

I am trying to find the python equivalent of enabling the checkbox for controlling the feature rendering order based on an attribute of the features of a layer (see below screenshot).

I want to base the rendering order on 'height' as shown in the screenshot.

My code below reads:

lyr_features = sorted(lyr_features, key = lambda i: i['height'])
colours = self.linear_gradient(len(lyr_features))
for i, feat in enumerate(lyr_features):
    myMin = feat['height']
    myMax = feat['height'] + 0.5
    myLabel = '{}'.format(feat['height'])
    myColour = QtGui.QColor(str(colours[i]))
    mySymbol = QgsSymbol.defaultSymbol(lyr.geometryType())
    mySymbol.setColor(myColour)
    mySymbol.setOpacity(myOpacity)
    myRange = QgsRendererRange(myMin, myMax, mySymbol, myLabel)
    myRangeList.append(myRange)

myRenderer = QgsGraduatedSymbolRenderer('', myRangeList)
myRenderer.setMode(QgsGraduatedSymbolRenderer.Pretty)
myStyle = QgsStyle().defaultStyle()
defaultColorRampNames = myStyle.colorRampNames()
ramp = myStyle.colorRamp(defaultColorRampNames[25])
myRenderer.setSourceColorRamp(ramp)
myRenderer.setClassAttribute(myTargetField)

lyr.setRenderer(myRenderer)
QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(lyr)
lyr.triggerRepaint()

This is okay, but I then need to manually go in and enable the feature rendering control. Maybe something like this:

myRenderer.orderByEnabled(True)

This doesn't work but maybe along the lines of this?

Answer 1

I add an example of code.

myRenderer.setOrderBy(QgsFeatureRequest.OrderBy([QgsFeatureRequest.OrderByClause('Value', False)]))
myRenderer.setOrderByEnabled(True)

QGIS Api OrderByClause

OrderByClause (const QString &expression, bool ascending=true)
