If the SORTENTS Regen flag (bit-code value 16) is set, AutoCAD regenerates entities in ascending handle order. When the DRAWORDER command is used, a SORTENTSTABLE object is attached to the *Model_Space or *Paper_Space block's extension dictionary under the name ACAD_SORTENTS. The SORTENTSTABLE object related to this dictionary associates a different handle with each entity, which redefines the order in which the entities are regenerated.
