tileindex: sequence of attributes in individual shapefiles matter s

[Eijnden, B. van den (Bart)]

Hi list,

today we encountered that the sequence of attributes of the individual
shapefiles which were used in a tile-index are important. In 3 out of 4
shapefiles the CLASSITEM column was the 3rd column, but in the 4th shapefile
it was the 4th column, so that one did not show up in the map ....

Apparently Mapserver fetches attribute values based on a column index? Would
it be better to fetch by name? Otherwise I think this requirement should be
documented somewhere.

Best regards,
Bart
