SLD, sequence of Rules

[Eijnden, Bart van den (AGI)]

Hi list,

when reading an SLD file Mapserver reverses the sequence of the Rules, which does not make sense to me. We have a certain sequence of Rules in our SLD files, and we want to see the same sequence in the legends for instance.

In mapogcsld.c it says:

/* -------------------------------------------------------------------- */
/*      copy classes in reverse order : the Rule priority is the        */
/*      first rule is the most important (mapserver uses the painter    */
/*      model)                                                          */
/* -------------------------------------------------------------------- */
                    map->layers[i].type = pasLayers[j].type;
                    map->layers[i].numclasses = 0;
                    iClass = 0;
                    for (k=pasLayers[j].numclasses-1; k>=0; k--)
                    {
                        initClass(&map->layers[i].class[iClass]);
                        msCopyClass(&map->layers[i].class[iClass], 
                                    &pasLayers[j].class[k], NULL);
                        map->layers[i].class[iClass].layer = &map->layers[i];
                        map->layers[i].class[iClass].type = map->layers[i].type;
                        map->layers[i].numclasses++;
                        iClass++;
                    } 

Any ideas why this was reversed?
