[mapserver-users] WMS LAYERS parameter - problems with the order

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

Both systems should work. First layer in the mapfile is rendered first so it goes on the bottom and the same should happen with WMS layers. A few weeks ago we learned that layers set to STATUS DEFAULT do not respect any other rules and they are always rendered first.  Do you have such ones? If yes, try turning them into STATUS ON.  If that does not have an effect please mail us the whole layer blocks for those two.

You should be able to see that layer order does have an effect by sending the following GetMaps with a browser.

request.
  - changed the order in LAYERS parameter
  - changed the order in the mapfile

but still, the polygon layer is drawn at the top of my map and the point
layer at the bottom.

I've tried the request with MapServer 5.6.7 and MapServer 6.0.1; WMS
1.1.1 & WMS 1.3.0.

Requests:
[1]
/cgi-bin/mapserv6?map=map-ms6.map&EXCEPTIONS=inimage&FORMAT=image/png&TRANSPARENT=false&LAYERS=g_05.s2,g_play_label.play_label&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&SRS=EPSG%3A26591&BBOX=1515109.311936,5033336.8146348,1515261.7333042,5033476.4274846&WIDTH=1428&HEIGHT=1308

[2]
/cgi-bin/mapserv6?map=map-ms6.map&EXCEPTIONS=inimage&FORMAT=image/png&TRANSPARENT=false&LAYERS=g_play_label.play_label,g_05.s2&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&SRS=EPSG%3A26591&BBOX=1515109.311936,5033336.8146348,1515261.7333042,5033476.4274846&WIDTH=1428&HEIGHT=1308

For each request I've got the same output, see screenshot.

Am I doing something wrong?

Best regards,
Daniel
