I take it you've set up 2 ordering tables, (besides double buffering),
in which case just draw the one ordering table before the other. This
will solve your problem, and makes hardly any difference with overheads. 

As for GsSortOt, this is best used if you want to place one ordering
table at a set position in another. This may or may not draw an object
last, as it will depend on the other objects already in the 'to be added
to' ordering table, and when the GsSortOt is done. The position it is
sent to is the value in the point field of the GsOT structure.

Hope this solves your problem.
