Order is determined by the order of the features in the underlying data source. To do what you suggest, a good idea BTW, we'd need to change things a bit:
- need to log distance computation - need to develop a sort utility - need to alter certain query code to apply a feature count at the very end, after all candidates are found and a distance sort is done Probably RFC worthy.

Hi, What results will be selected if GetFeatureInfo finds more features within the tolerance than used as FEATURE_COUNT parameter? Are they selected by distance are they just the first hits? If they were ordered by distance then GetFeatureInfo could be used for finding N nearest features which might be nice sometimes. -Jukka Rahkonen- _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
