[OpenLayers-Users] Z-ordering of geometries within a collection.

[Vivien Deparday]

Hi Tom,
Did you have a look at this example: 
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/ordering.html ?
Then you can use a custom context function like in this example: 
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/styles-context.html to modify the 
graphicZIndex according to your geometry type.
This is how I went about that but there might be a more elegant solution.

Cheers,

Vivien
