Methods for order independent transparency
Additive Transparency
Take all the transparent colors and add them up. Addition is commutative so the order doesn't matter.
Weighted Blended Order Independent Transparency
See http://casual-effects.blogspot.com/2014/03/weighted-blended-order-independent.html
This builds upon additive transparency with two buffers: 1. Accum buffer: weighted average of all premultiplied-alpha RGB colors. 2. Revealage buffer: buffer representing how much of the opaque background is visible through the transparent layers.
