If the data are not sorted in advance, the rendering will never be right. Correct? </div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv9769988463yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485107109870_38783">If this is the case, then +1 for the sortshp.

As more as I zoom in on my map, the roads are getting smaller instead of getting bigger. Imagine a highway looking pretty wide and as you zoom in the width is reducing.
