I'd say -0 ... I can see in ticket #4249 that the change of order gives<br>better results in that case, but I am always hesitant to change a<br>built-in behavior that has been around for years as this change could<br>
cause side-effects for other use cases where the current order is<br>better. (I have no such use case in mind, just being overly careful<br>because our users don't like when we break backwards compatibility.)<br><br>BTW, I love the idea of a mechanism to control the order in the mapfile.<br>
