I'm implementing sorting in LDDP.  Here's my question:

Say I'm sorting by position using Y.  When sorting linetypes 2-5 should I take
the maximum Y, the minimum Y, the Y value of center of the triangle/quad/line,
or something else entirely?

I would tend to lean toward the centroid, but perhaps it would be best to be
user configurable.

centroid was my first thought but leave it to the user would be better

Should this be a dialog that pops up when sorting in initiated, in the program
options, or something else?

The current method I'm using moves all type 0 lines to the top.  Should I simply
delete them instead?

Also, what about sort order?  Should I have 3 commands (Sort by X, Sort by Y,
Sort by Z) or something else?
