Coroutine in place of InvokeRepeating in need of start at time parameter

Question

 IEnumerator SendSpriteForward(int no, Coroutine n,int prevhighestorderInlayer)
 {
     while (true) {
         StopCoroutine (n);
         for (int i = 0; i < gameObjectsContainer.transform.childCount; i++) {    
             gameObjectsContainer.GetChild (i).transform.GetChild (no).GetComponent<SpriteRenderer> ().sortingOrder = gameObjectsContainer.GetChild (i).transform.GetChild (prevhighestorderInlayer).GetComponent<SpriteRenderer> ().sortingOrder + 1;
         }
         n = StartCoroutine (GenericCoroutine (no, 0));
         yield return new WaitForSeconds (6);
     }

 }

I need to call this coroutine in start method at different times .

In start Method i want to call them as such

           StartCoroutine(SendSpriteForward(5,one,0));  //start this call at 6 second 
     StartCoroutine(SendSpriteForward(4,two,5)); // this at 7 
     StartCoroutine(SendSpriteForward(3,three,4));//8
     StartCoroutine(SendSpriteForward(2,four,3));//9
     StartCoroutine(SendSpriteForward(1,five,2));//10
     StartCoroutine(SendSpriteForward(0,six,1));//11

and so . The Repeating functionality has been attained but the start time i need to. Thank you.

You could start a coroutine in your Start method like this

 void Start()
 {
     StartCoroutine(SpriteSwaps());
 }

 IEnumerator SpriteSwaps()
 {
    return yield WaitForSeconds(6f);
    StartCoroutine(SendSpriteForward(5,one,0));
    return yield WaitForSeconds(1f);
    ...
 }

So this Coroutine "SpriteSwaps" gets called in your Start ant then waits until the next sprite has to be set.

Thank you very much . Nothing can be more clear than this although now i have a coroutine , inside a coroutine , which is yet inside another coroutine , yippee something like Inception haha .
