I have tried using the below in my initial query, and query right before drawing my polygons with class breaks.
query.orderByFields = ["Shape__Area DESC"];
However this did not seem to do anything. I have also tried using grid_value field as well.
Here is my relevant code in which I am querying and then doing the drawing... main problem is occasionally large polygons block out smaller ones.. I can mostly see them, but visibility is not the issue.. I need to be able to click them as well.. if the smaller polygons would draw on top most layer, or even higher grid values on top should solve it. I found orderByFields in the docs but doesn't seem to do anything at all...
query.outFields = ["*"];
//query.orderByFields = ["Shape__Area DESC"];
query.returnDistinctValues = false;
query.returnGeometry = true;
QT.execute(query).then(function (evt) {
evt.features.forEach(function (feature) {
var att = feature.attributes
var test = geometryEngine.convexHull(feature.geometry)
var genpoly = null
if (att.grid_value <= 4.0) {
var rad = att.Shape__Length / 75
genpoly = new Circle({
center: test.centroid,
radius: rad,
radiusUnit: "meters"
})
} else {
genpoly = test
}
var polygonGraphic = new Graphic({
geometry: genpoly,
attributes: att,

gras.push(polygonGraphic);

Here is my full CodePen as well.. Any way to do this client side javascript? simply change index to smallest polygons on top?! 1/3 times some of my polygons render in the correct order.. but I need to ensure they all always do, so they are visible and I can click them.
Update:
Here is a better screenshot: For instance, I try to click the green shape in the middle, the largest blue circle highlights and the popup only displays the meta for that one. Cannot click the smaller inner ones.
i.e. before click.
i.e. after trying to click the green inner small polygon -- only outer is accessible.
perhaps the issue is my order by clause needs to be handled within my filter?
eqLayerView.filter = {
outFields: "*",
orderByFields: "Shape__Area DESC",
where: "id IN (" + sqlExp + ")"
};

Take a look at this example, is base on your code, I just remove lot of things and keep the important ones to see that sort by area works. Like I told you, the layer plus the renderer did not help you to realize this. Just click and you will see each feature been selected.

</html>UPDATE:
After reviewing your update, I think I understand better the issue and I notice something that I miss before, featureNavigation: false. I am pretty sure that on click all features are selected, the problem is that the one you want is not the fist one to appear. In other words, you have a problem with the order in witch popup is showing clicked features.
So, I will propose you a simple solution, manually open the popup with the desire feature (in you case the one with less area). For this, you need to:
Take a look at this example I made for you, I add an extra condition to retrieve some features to make it faster
