 if the bin is not set for a particular pfGeode it will go into the OPAQUE_BIN
or to the TRANSP_BIN if it's transparent.

 One solution is to force the BIN of the object to be the OPAQUE_BIN using:

 n = pfGetNumGSets(node);
 for(i=0; i<n; i++)
 {
        pfGSetDrawBin (pfGetGSet(node, i), PFSORT_OPAQUE_BIN);
 }

 The object will be sorted by State within the OPAQUE_BIN.

 If it's still not what you want, you can also create your own bin.
