RemarksThis API is only available when running on Windows 10 build 10586 (released November 2015) or greater.
The larger the batches that are sent to the graphics hardware the better the performance. Every time the bitmap changes a new batch must be started. If the sprites are sorted by bitmap then the batches can be larger. The downside to this if that if the code is relying on later sprites to draw over earlier sprites then this will break if the batches are sorted.
