Exploding of solid hatch

When I explode a drawing with a solid hatch, it explodes each hatch area into multiple areas and brings the hatch areas to the front of the drawing. Some of these areas are very small and trying to select all of them to send them to the back is very time consuming. Is there a setting that would prevent the hatch areas from being sperated into so many areas?

I'm running the Draftsight 2018 SP1 x64 version. The drawing was made in AutoCad 2006. Exploding this same drawing in Autocad would only create (7) hatched areas.
