Hello all -

How does Mapinfo determine the drawing order of objects within the same layer?

I have overlapping objects within the same layer, and I can't figure out how to
promote some of them to draw on top.  I've assumed, perhaps wrongly, that this
is determined by the drawing order of objects within the layer; ie, the objects
that draw last within the layer are drawn on top.

I've experimented with exporting the layer to a .mif file, and then sorting the
.mif and .mid files based on object type, and then reimporting the layer.
Everything works fine, and the row order reflects the order that the file was
imported.  But it still doesn't seem to result in any predictability to how the
objects will be drawn when they are back in .tab format.

Any suggestions?
