[Cartoweb-users] Layer Reorder

[Jady]

Hi Oliver,

The 2 'OK' layers are both polygon layers, they represent the land area.
The 2 'not OK' layers: 1) line layer; 2)polygon layer, which is actually a
white rectangle layer covering the whole map area as a background, coz I
would like the background of the map to be white in colour.

Maybe I include their definition in mapfile here:
The 2 'OK' layers:

#-------------------------prc---------------------
LAYER
NAME "prc"
TYPE POLYGON
STATUS ON
DATA "PRC"
CLASS
	NAME "PRC"
	COLOR 235 235 235
	OUTLINECOLOR 130 130 130
END
END

#-------------------------HKSAR-----------------------
LAYER
NAME "hksar"
TYPE Polygon
STATUS ON
DATA "HKSAR"
CLASS
	NAME "HKSAR"
	COLOR 239 228 190
	OUTLINECOLOR 161 157 157
END
END

The 2 'not OK' layers:

#--------------------SAR BOUNDARY--(LINE)--------------------
LAYER
NAME "sarboundary"
TYPE LINE
STATUS ON
DATA "sarboundary"
CLASS
    NAME "SAR Boundary"
    STYLE
        SYMBOL "dash_dot"
        SIZE 1
        COLOR 230 11 222
        ANTIALIAS TRUE
    END
END
END

#-------------------------background---------------------
LAYER
NAME "bkground"
TYPE POLYGON
STATUS ON
DATA "Background"
CLASS
	NAME "bkground"
	COLOR 250 250 250
END
END

Thanks and regards,
Jady
