arcmap - How to force polygons to the bottom, without compromizing drawing speed?


I have a large polygon dataset and no time to rebuild it to regoranize the Object IDs. Many polygons are drawing above others, blocking their symbol (for example on one side of the polygon). I tried using the 'advanced' symbol level drawing however this resulted in the polygons drawing at a glacial pace. For my clients & users, this is not cool. Is there any way to force the polygons I don't want up front to the bottom, without compromizing drawing speed?



Answer



The issue ended up being a result of a mistake on the set-up in the enterprise environment regarding the spatial ordering of the data. Once that was fixed by the enterprise data admins, the symbol level drawing worked and loaded quickly!
