[OpenLayers-Dev] Rearranging stack order of layers

[Jason Lee]

Don't know if it is the best solution, but I am now using
"map.raiseLayer()" like so:-

//===========================
lyrNum = 2;
var delta = map.getNumLayers() - lyrNum;

map.raiseLayer(layer, -delta);
map.raiseLayer(netLayer, delta);
//===========================

This seems to do the trick.
