Can't sequence the rendering of layers

Description (Last modified by sdlime) 

An enhancement rather than a bug.  The sequence of layers presented is defined 
by the map file. But the user may wish to change this "I want layer B befroe 
layer A". PHP mapscript can alter this, but this can't be done in the cgi-app.

Yeah, I'd like this too. A new parameter would probable be required to not break
existing applications, i.e. "order=true" meaning "use the layer order given in
the layers= parameter". 
And layers with "type annotation" would be drawn on top, no matter what.

Let me do some research but I believe this can be done using the CGI parameter 
map_order or something like that. That's why this bug has sat here so long. 
Repurposing the LAYERS parameter is a bad idea. At worst the processing for 
map_order would have to be updated to respect names. I'll post more soon.

This capability is available via the WMS interface if so desired.

  • description changed.

And you can use map.order from the CGI if necessary I believe.
