Hi,

I still don't have a solution for the zorder problem in a 2D display.
Maps to the ZAxis have no effect. This is a critical problem. My
lightning strikes really shouldn't be below my roads. Also, although
they are ordered by time, overlapping lightning shapes (all part of a
single Data object) don't have a zorder that corresponds to time. 

Any ideas on how to get the appropriate zorder?

Thanks,
Doug
