[Mapserver-users] point label ordering wrong?

Something that's puzzled me for a while:

When points are set to AUTO position, the order MS tries is (as 
specified in the docs and in the enum in the source):

	UL, LR, UR, LL, CR, CL, UC, LC, CC

Yet all the cartographic design info I have says it should be:

	UR, LR, UL, LL, UC, LC, CR, CL, CC

So, why was the order chosen as it is now?


For now I've just been changing MS_LABEL_POSITIONS in map.h.  No big 
deal for now, tho it's a bit of a hassle.
