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.

Another thought, maybe sorting on the center of the axis-aligned bounding box
for the line?  For lines this would be the center of the line but would it be
the center of the tri or quad?  My visualzation skills are elluding me at the
moment.
