Theme: Individual rule for Numeric property is disordered.

[jennyhe]

Report from Autodesk QA

Steps: 1. Open one flexible web layout with Polygon data. 2. Theme->Select FeatId?, Individual as Distribution rule -> Apply

Results: Please refer to the attached png file, the rule is disordered and not based on the FeatID value. If using one String property, it looks correct.

Expected results; The rule should refer to the value of FeatID.

Tech diagnosis:
The code for getting new area rule is:

        $aggregateOptions = new MgFeatureAggregateOptions();

        $portion = 0.0;
        $increment = ($this->args['NUMRULES'] > 1) ? $increment = 1.0 / ($this->args['NUMRULES'] - 1) : 1.0;

        if ($this->args['DISTRO'] == 'INDIV_DIST')
        {
            $aggregateOptions->AddFeatureProperty($this->args['PROPERTYNAME']);
            $aggregateOptions->SelectDistinct(true);

            $dataReader = $featureService->SelectAggregate($resId, $layer->GetFeatureClassName(), $aggregateOptions);            
            while ($dataReader->ReadNext())
            {
                $value = $this->GetFeaturePropertyValue($dataReader, $this->args['PROPERTYNAME']);

                $filterText = '"' . $this->args['PROPERTYNAME'] . '" = ';
                if ($this->args['DATATYPE'] == MgPropertyType::String)
                    $filterText .= "'" . $value . "'";
                else
                    $filterText .= $value;

                $areaRuleXML = sprintf($areaRuleTemplate,
                    $this->args['PROPERTYNAME'] . ': ' . $value,
                    $filterText,
                    $this->InterpolateColor($portion, $this->args['FILLFROM'], $this->args['FILLTO'], $this->args['FILLTRANS']),
                    $this->InterpolateColor($portion, $this->args['LINEFROM'], $this->args['LINETO'], 0));

                $areaDoc = DOMDocument::loadXML($areaRuleXML);
                $areaNode = $doc->importNode($areaDoc->documentElement, true);
                if($hasChild)
                {
                  $areaTypeStyle->insertBefore($areaNode, $element);
                }
                else
                {
                  $areaTypeStyle->appendChild($areaNode);
                }

                $portion += $increment;
            }
            $dataReader->Close();
        }

It's not order by the property, thus the data are not ordered ascending or descending.

QA report if choose string property, the legend is not disordered. This is not true but a case of the data.

Although featureService has an option to set ordering filter (code as below), it's not supported by all providers, for example it's not supported by SDF. Thus it can't fully solve this problem.

            $orderByProperties = new MgStringCollection();
            $orderByProperties->Add($this->args['PROPERTYNAME']);
            $aggregateOptions->SetOrderingFilter($orderByProperties, MgOrderingOption::Ascending);

Because not all providers support order by, another solution is to order the list in memory.

[christinebao]

To support all providers and make code simple, the second solution (sort in memory) is chosen. Please review the attached patch http://trac.osgeo.org/fusion/attachment/ticket/323/SortTheme.patch.
