You are probably referring to the MAP level UNITS object.... Yes, I've
already set that in meters. I've also set the
PROJECTION
"init:epsg=2100"
END
in both the MAP level and the LAYER level. My extent is in meters too,
obtained from the ogrinfo -al -so command.
but still..... the same effect......

This means that regardless of the layer's CLASS hierachy, the
attributes will be rendered according to the sorting rule, which is
predefined in your data. If the data are not sorted in advance, the
rendering will never be right. Correct?
If this is the case, then +1 for the sortshp. It worked out well in my
mapfile and roads are rendered properly.
However it appears that in PostGIS data, the sorting happens in the
DATA section of the mapfile, and the data need not be pre-sorted. It
works this way here, at least with the following rule:
DATA 'geom from (SELECT * FROM roads ORDER BY category
desc) AS foo using unique id using srid=2100'
On the other hand, I didn't quite catch the z-index part in Simon's
tutorial. I don't have have z values...
Yes this all correct.
I'm also curious for one more thing. As more as I zoom in on my map,
the roads are getting smaller instead of getting bigger. Imagine a
highway looking pretty wide and as you zoom in the width is reducing.
I've only set color and width in STYLE object of my mapfile. Am I
missing any configuration ?
By default units are in pixels, so a road 12 pixels width is 12 pixels
wide regardless of zoom level. Set UNITS meter and now you road width
will be in ground units and get width on the map as you zoom in. Youcan
also use MINSIZE and MAXSIZE to limit the width of the roads to some
number of pixels.

This blog entry from Simon Mercier describes how this works.

Ämne: Re: [mapserver-users] Mapfile CLASS hierarchy
Oh, and I forgot to mention that if you want objects rendered in a
particular order, then your should sort the data in the sources in that
order. You can do this with order by clause on SQL based data sources
and using shpsort for shapefiles, ogr2ogr and also sort data.
