Yeah, I wrote code to do that and it did not work. Furthermore, the drawing
order of linear objects and of the same thematically mapped linear objects
does not seem to correspond.
The sorted details:
for i =1 to 619
j=619-i
select * from final_plane_lines3 where rowid=j into Selection
Run Menu Command M_EDIT_CUT
Run Menu Command M_EDIT_PASTE
next

As I understand it the drawing order of map objects is "arbitrary" (search
the MapInfo-L archives, I believe that is the word someone at tech support
used. Might have been "random".)
You may notice that recently drawn and/or pasted objects will appear on
"top". One approach (pain) would be to sort the table to get the records
into the order you want them drawn, then (PAIN) save a copy. The copy
_may_ draw in the order you want. You mileage will vary. Good luck. If
this would be a useful utility application, that can be arranged.
I agree that graduated symbols and "bring to front" in the Layout window do
tend to support the idea that some relevant code exists.
Mr. Dressel?
