[mapserver-users] boundingboxes

[Bob Basques]

An idea . . .

Sort the database return by the area of the BBOX, with smallest area 
first, the first row returned with be the smallest, reverse the sort for 
the largest BBOX.

If you are using a Imagemap in the client, the sorting still matter, 
since you can effectively stack the output of the imagemap in the same 
way.  The first item in the imagemap stacking that satisfies the browser 
will be read and displayed.
