Thank you! Combining the maps.states and maps.counties is great; I do this when combining roads, select locations, city, etc and then blow them out into their own anno sets- didn't think of it at the very beginning of the project using the SAS datasets (probably b/c when first starting to learn mapping figuring out which data sets used which coordinate system & gproject was a little confusing) Yes, sql does do reordering (the code in the post is condensed down to illustrate the problem); I actually do (monotonic()) as sortord to maps.counties to be able to re-sort correctly in later steps. Your SAS/Graph Examples is awesome- I've been playing with animating the maps and doing graphs w/ .svg; fun stuff! Thanks again!
