Linetype display order
I never thought of doing that but I might find that useful occasionally with color hatching elevations to let clients see different color siding and bricks. I don't know if that is built in but you should be able to do it with a lisp. The lisp would run that line type and then select what you just did and send it to back. Or maybe you run the lisp and whatever the next thing you do is automatically sent to back. I suck at lisp though so you might try asking in the <<Lisp Forum>>.

is there a way to set a line type to have a permanent display order? like making a hatch linetype always appear under everything?
It would be easy to make a routine that would find everything of a specified linetype and move all to the back. That would be easiest if everything with that linetype has it assigned as an override, but it could also be made to find things on Layers with that linetype that don't have a linetype override. Does that sound workable?
But I'm not sure I'm understanding what you really want -- I've never heard of a "hatch linetype," and Hatch patterns can be set to not use a non-continuous linetype if their Layer has one. And none of it would apply if you're talking about Hatch background shading, or SOLID-pattern Hatching, which seems to be what some suggestions here are really about, rather than linetype specifically.
Hi
i think you can use select similar then send selected same objects to back or bring to forward.
just select one object then right click select similar (by the way you can adjust selecting rule layer,linetype ,......
and also you can use filter and quick select .
if you need more info just upload a simple file and explain what you want maybe we can find faster way.
but the select similar is perfect tools try it.
good luck.
