Can't sequence the rendering of layers

[lyndon.zimmermann@…]

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.

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