[Qgis-user] Sorting layers

[Phil (The Geek) Wyatt]

Hi Pat,

 

It doesn't actually work that way. If sorted by alphabet then if a layer starting with the letter A was a raster layer then it would cover all the rest of the layers in the stack. Moving something up the list places its features on top of those below (if that makes sense). In general the stack might have something like this from top to bottom

 

·         Labels

·         point data

·         Polyline data

·         Transparent Polygon layers

·         Raster or image layers

 

Sorry if I am stating the obvious and you are after some other function that I am not aware of (I am also a newbie at QGIS)

 

Cheers - Phil

Subject: [Qgis-user] Sorting layers

 

Hi,
  I am not sure if my mails are getting through as they don't show up in my inbox.
  I sometimes have many layers in a project and would like to have them listed in a specific order. I was wondering if there is any way to sort the display of layers without actually manually dragging them to where I want them? I would like to select a set of layers and sort them alphabetically. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Pat
