How do you change or assign the layer of a tilemap child object in Godot 4?

AVA

Godot 4 added the ability for tilemaps to contain layers. In order for y-sort to work properly and to make sure collisions work properly, you typically want to make entities children of a tilemap. Because layer isn't an innate property of child objects, is there a way to assign or change this for child objects of tilemaps? I'd like to have the ability for my player to move between when changing elevation.
