it’s magic as far as they’re concerned. The order is not documented anywhere but in code. So I’d be ok with the change if you guys see a real benefit, +1. As an aside I believe the current order mimicked that of ArcPlot circa 1995.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

BTW, I love the idea of a mechanism to control the order in the mapfile.<br>
