[mapserver-users] WFS Filter encoding . . . Anyone know what the Units list for DWithin that MapServer honors?

[Blammo]

Ok,

I got another related question . .

On a DWithin return list, any chance that the results are ordered by 
distance from a point, closest first?  Or isn't this something I can 
depend on from MapServer?
