Dynamic block placing arrey wipeouts in wrong draw order when stretching.

I'm modeling a dynamic block.
It represents a simple fence for a elevation plan.
The dynamic block has one stretch action.
The action is displayed in the properties menu and has a grip point.
The total length of the fence.
The array actions adds pickets to the fence when stretching.
Unfortunately draws the block the pickets in the wrong order when stretching.

Wipeouts can be a pain to work with. Why not change to a 255,255,255 solid hatch?

As you array your pickets Autocad sees those new pickets as newer objects and therefore they are placed before anything else in the draw order (your rail which already exists). If you need this block to actually 'hide' other objects within your drawing then it might be a better idea to create your block using a wipeout for the lower section of the picket and a second wipeout for the upper section. That way the picket fence has the appearance you want with the pickets at the back of the rail, and also hides other details of objects 'behind' the fence.
