	How to sort layers in the order of creation?
	If you don't want to have layers sorted alphabetically and want to show them in the order you have created them, set temporarily the `MAXSORT` variable to 0 (warning: nothing will be sorted alphabetically). For AutoCAD 2005 and higher use the commandline version of the Layer command: `_-LAYER ?` or the Layer Control dropdown.
