I don't think LDGLite supports anything other than stipple transparency. If you
use LDView as your renderer, you can get sorted blended trancparency. You'll
want to use the latest LDView test release for it to work properly, though.
That's available here:

(I know you said you prefer to use LDGLite as the renderer, and LDView is
certainly slower than LDGLite, but LDView is a whole lot faster than POV-Ray. I
seem to remember Don commenting in the past that sorted blended transparency
wasn't supported in LDGLite. I suppose that could have changed, though.)
