Select all pathItem.filled “send to back”

Question

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble. I want to make a script for selecting all the paths in the file where the fill color exists and send them to the back (the paths are sometimes within groups)

It prevents the fill color from obscuring text and paths. but the script doesn't work. I don't have found a suitable solution in the community. and I don't know how I can write it more simply.

Best wishes

This script works to some extent, but for a fill imported from CAD, I have to change its color once before it will be recognized? anyone know why?

Best wishes

#target illustrator

var doc = app.activeDocument;

//app.selection = null;
for (var i = 0; i < doc.pathItems.length; i++){
	var Items = doc.pathItems[i];
	if (Items.fillColor.red > 0 ) {
	Items.selected = true;
	Items.zOrder(ZOrderMethod.SENDTOBACK)
	}
app.selection = null;
}
