How to control the z axis of individual Mapbox features inside the same layer?

I'm using the Mapbox Maps SDK for Android to display pins with custom icons in a map on my app. More specifically, I'm using the SymbolLayer API. When the user clicks on a pin, its appearance changes to show it is selected. However, that clicked pin is often behind other pins, like in this image:
All those pins are Features from the same Source, added to the same SymbolLayer.
I want to be able to make the selected pin appear above the other pins, and for that I'm trying to control its z axis. I'm playing around with the PropertyFactory.symbolZOrder(value) method and it seems that neither Property.SYMBOL_Z_ORDER_VIEWPORT_Y nor Property.SYMBOL_Z_ORDER_SOURCE will be of help. I'm hopeful that I will be able to achieve that with an Expression but I have no idea on how to use it.
Any thoughts?

SYMBOL_Z_ORDER_SOURCEwill allow you to specific the order of the z index of symbols. What you need to to do is order the contents of the your source object and this will be taken in account when laying out all the symbols. I created a high level api around symbols that uses theSYMBOL_Z_ORDER_SOURCEfeature for this specific reason. github.com/mapbox/mapbox-plugins-android/commit/…

SYMBOL_Z_ORDER_SOURCEwill allow you to specific the order of the z index of symbols. What you need to to do is order the contents of the your source object and this will be taken in account when laying out all the symbols. I created a high level api around symbols that uses theSYMBOL_Z_ORDER_SOURCEfeature for this specific reason. github.com/mapbox/mapbox-plugins-android/commit/…
