Daniel,<div>Given that your -0 vote is not considered a veto, and considering the comments of other devs, I will go on with the change. For the record, do you maintain your -0 or have the explanations given made you reconsider your opinion?</div>

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.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

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>

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