Calling an Express tool

    I am trying to include a few lines in an existing lisp that will move item
    to the back in the draw order without user input. I thought I could use the
    SSX command, but it seems you cannot call an Express Tool from within a
    lisp.

    (command "ssx" "" "e" "solid" "")
    (command "draworder" "" "p" "" "back")

    Is there a way to write this where I can get a selection set of all "Solid"
    entities (although getting all hatches would be nice). I started to look at
    ssget, but it does not seem work correctly.

    (setq ss2 (ssget "X" '((0 . "SOLID"))))
    (command "draworder" "" "ss2 "" "back")

    Did I write this wrong? Any help or direction would be appreciated.

    Try removing the "" after "draworder"
