Thanks Andrea, that explains it.
I have discovered that if you break the rules up across feature type styles,
the order defined in the SLD is maintained in the drawing order. This works for
my purposes, but I’m wondering if there are any drawbacks.
For instance, we are also using the sld:Priority tag to determine labelling
priority. Does this work across feature types? What I want is one rule to have
higher labelling priority than another using a second field to determine the
labelling priority in that rule. For example, in bold below:
<sld:Rule>
<sld:Name>historic_mines</sld:Name>
<sld:Title>Historic Mine</sld:Title>
<ogc:Filter>
<ogc:PropertyIsEqualTo>
<ogc:PropertyName>OPERATING_STATUS</ogc:PropertyName>
<ogc:Literal>historic mine</ogc:Literal>
</ogc:PropertyIsEqualTo>
</ogc:Filter>
<sld:PointSymbolizer>
<sld:Graphic>
<sld:ExternalGraphic>
<sld:OnlineResource
xlink:type="simple"
xlink:href="icons/historic.svg"/>
<sld:Format>image/svg+xml</sld:Format>
</sld:ExternalGraphic>
</sld:Graphic>
</sld:PointSymbolizer>
<sld:TextSymbolizer>
<sld:Label>
<ogc:PropertyName>NAME</ogc:PropertyName>
</sld:Label>
<sld:Font>
<sld:CssParameter name="font-family">Arial</sld:CssParameter>
<sld:CssParameter name="font-size">12</sld:CssParameter>
<sld:CssParameter name="font-style">normal</sld:CssParameter>
<sld:CssParameter name="font-weight">normal</sld:CssParameter>
</sld:Font>
<sld:LabelPlacement>
<sld:PointPlacement>
<sld:AnchorPoint>
<sld:AnchorPointX>0.0</sld:AnchorPointX>
<sld:AnchorPointY>0.5</sld:AnchorPointY>
</sld:AnchorPoint>
<sld:Displacement>
<sld:DisplacementX>10</sld:DisplacementX>
<sld:DisplacementY>0.3</sld:DisplacementY>
</sld:Displacement>
</sld:PointPlacement>
</sld:LabelPlacement>
<sld:Halo>
<sld:Radius>2</sld:Radius>
<sld:Fill>
<sld:CssParameter name="fill">#ffffff</sld:CssParameter>
</sld:Fill>
</sld:Halo>
<sld:Fill>
<sld:CssParameter name="fill">#000000</sld:CssParameter>
</sld:Fill>
<sld:Priority>
<ogc:Function>
<ogc:Sub>
<ogc:Literal>20</ogc:Literal>
<ogc:PropertyName>SIGNIFICANCE</ogc:PropertyName>
</ogc:Sub>
</ogc:Function>
</sld:Priority>
<sld:VendorOption name="partials">true</sld:VendorOption>
<sld:VendorOption name="spaceAround">10</sld:VendorOption>
</sld:TextSymbolizer>
</sld:Rule>
Will that priority be applied to all Rules across all FeatureTypeStyles?

[SEC=UNOFFICIAL]
Hi,
I'm afraid it's not possible to use any type of expression in a vendor option.
At the Java API level, vendor options values are just static strings, they
cannot contain
dynamic behavior. It's technically feasible to switch from String to Expression
(which would
allow function usage), but also a large change. It would be a pretty good
improvement though!
Going back to sorting, with the current capabilities, you can only provide a
field name. So,
a way to achieve what you want, if your data source is a database, is to create
a view,
either in the database or as a GeoServer SQL view, that computes the sorting
score as a new attribute.
Then you use the sortBy against this new attribute. That should do it.
Cheers
Andrea

Hi Geoserver User list
I have a layer where I want certain rules to be rendered higher in the z-order,
using the vendor option ‘sortBy’, as described
here<https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/styling/sld/extensions/z-order/index.html>.
However the field I wish to sort on is text, not numeric.
I thought I could do this using the Recode function, as follows:
<sld:VendorOption name="sortBy">
<ogc:Function name="Recode">
<ogc:PropertyName>OPERATING_STATUS</ogc:PropertyName>
<ogc:Literal>mineral deposit</ogc:Literal>
<ogc:Literal>50</ogc:Literal>
<ogc:Literal>historic mine</ogc:Literal>
<ogc:Literal>60</ogc:Literal>
<ogc:Literal>closed</ogc:Literal>
<ogc:Literal>70</ogc:Literal>
<ogc:Literal>under development</ogc:Literal>
<ogc:Literal>80</ogc:Literal>
<ogc:Literal>feasibility</ogc:Literal>
<ogc:Literal>80</ogc:Literal>
<ogc:Literal>care and maintenance</ogc:Literal>
<ogc:Literal>90</ogc:Literal>
<ogc:Literal>operating mine</ogc:Literal>
<ogc:Literal>100</ogc:Literal>
</ogc:Function>
</sld:VendorOption>
But this seems to do nothing. Is there a way to sort a text field according to
a preset numerical ordering?
Thanks
Michael
