[mapserver-users] entities one upon the other

Hello, perhaps some other solutions for your problem:
- use a special class for the small entities, that has to be defined as 
the last class in the Layer-Definition and so will be drawn upon the 
other classes
- for database-layers: use a order-by-clause to get the result ordered 
by their sice (desc), so the large entities will be drawn first
- for shape-layers: reorder the Shapefile by the size of the entities

Regards
