 When adding a new layer to a map, the layer comes in at the bottom of the
 list/draworder.  The default UI for editing the legend position allows the
 layer to be repositioned but is is possible for the layer to remain at the
 bottom of the draworder and yet appear to be in a group above other
 layers.  For example, adding a new layer to a map with a raster, the new
 layer does not "appear" to be added on preview.

 Suggestion 1) Always add new layers at the top of the list

 Suggestion 2) Order the Maestro "Layers by Group" to be the same as the
 MapGuide legend - ie show ungrouped layers *above* grouped layers as this
 is how they will appear

 Group / draworder / legend / map display is still confusing enough for me
 so the more intuitive help to the novice the better
