Yes, it is culture and learned habits in our brains. Tell a 4-year old child to draw first a field and next add some cows and the order will be right. But we are so used to read row numbers from top to down on a paper print that we may really think that we would need to take a shovel and bury the cow.

Hi Andrea,
Maybe it’s a cultural thing, but personally I’d expect layer “1” to be on top and 4 to be on the bottom. However I guess if there’s a tooltip as you note that may work around that issue.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Hi,
ok everybody, how about this:
![Inline image 1]()
Also, when you hover on the down arrow, a label appears “move to map top” and when you hover on the up arrow, you
get a “move to map bottom” message instead.
Good enough?
Adding the image is also possible, but it’s more work that it’s worth it in Wicket imho (one needs to program to add it, because
last time I checked the image needs to be retrieved out of the classpath… is there is a quick way to do that,
I’d be happy to hear it).
Cheers

Hi,
every now and then we stumble into someone really confused about what layers is top
and bottom in the layer group page.
To someone that’s WMS savy and knows about the “painter model” there is little doubt,
the first layer is at the bottom, the last one at the top, but the vertical stacking of layers
in the dialog makes other think the first one is at the top.
Suggestions on how to improve things:
-
add a text warning right above or below the table
-
Have a “top” and “bottom” labels show in the table itself (bottom in the first row, top
in the last one), since we are making
one arrow disappear, maybe we could show the label in its place?
Feedback welcomed
Cheers
Andrea
