Changing layer order #744

Closed ghost closed 8 years ago

When the symbols are moved in the symbol panel nothing happens in the map panel ie if I move a symbol to the bottom of the list all the other symbols should be drawn on top of it.

In contradiction to many other 'normal' drawing tools there is no symbol layering in orienteering maps. The order of symbols is implicitly defined by their colors. From the Mapper help: "each map file contains a prioritized list of available colors, where colors higher in the list overlap lower colors".

The reordering of symbols is just for convenience. The order of drawing is completely defined by the stacking of colors, as dl3sdo already pointed out.
