What do you have now? and what do you want it to look like?

If you are wanting to change the default draw order, that is based on the order the features are saved in the data table. If you use the sort GP tool, and sort the FC on Area field, Descending, then all the smaller polygons will draw on top of the larger ones as they will be at the bottom of the table.

Though, not sure this will help with multirings. might have to explode first.

Sorting by Descending on the buffer field solved it
