Parametric XREF's internal draw order changes when parameters are changed in host file

Hi

I am having trouble with using XREFs with parameters. When I first attach an xref to a new drawing, it appears as expected. Then if I change a parameter on that xref (visibility, rotation, etc), the draw order changes usually putting some entities behind a solid hatch or wipeout.

Is there any way around this? I've tried putting the wipeout/hatch at a negative z position, but that doesn't seem to affect the draw order.

See attached example.

    Hello.

    A quick fix would be to bind the xref as internal block, if possible.

    Then, insert the block and change the rotation prameter.
    In this case, the draw order is kept.
