Soft pointer ID/handle to an entity (zero or more entries may exist)

5

Sort handle (zero or more entries may exist)

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 that the entities are regenerated.
