sort_rank
Type: int
Optional
The ordering of features, which determines which features are rendered "on top of" other features, can be an important issue when rendering maps. To assist map rendering, there is a sort_rank property on some features that suggests in what order the features should appear.
A feature with a higher sort_rank value is displayed on top of feature with a lower sort_rank value.
