[mapserver-users] GetFeature WFS request with Spatial Filter DWITHIN

[Steve Lime]

To be clear, Fran - are you saying the issue isn't the result set rather
the order? If so I don't know of a way to affect that order.

In terms of a nearest feature or features. This would be something that I
would be keen on addressing. I've run into a variant of this issue using
the CGI and mode=query when searching multiple layers. The query finds the
first matching feature but not necessarily the closest. It's an issue
primarily with line and point layers when you need to set TOLERANCE values
to make things clickable. Jukka, what does the vendor specific extension in
GeoServer look like from WFS filter standpoint?
