[Cartoweb-users] Layer Reorder

[Oliver Christen]

I dont see anything special in your mapfile's layers definition that would 
explain the problem you encountered.

I would be more tempted to think fixing non contiguous layers is not 
supported correctly in the layerReoder plugin.
I fear you will need to try to debug the plugin to see whats happening in 
details in your case.

regards
Oliver
