[OpenLayers-Users] Feature Sorting

[Jean-Pierre Fiset]

In OpenLayers 2.x, is there a strategy or a method to add the features to a vector layer in such
a way that the point appear "on top", while the larger polygons are drawn further back? This
behaviour is desired so that when using the SelectFeature control, the points are not "hidden"
behind polygons.

Sorting the features before adding them to a layer seems to do the trick. However, is there an
automatic way to perform this sorting as features are added to the layer?

Thanks,

JP
