Research direction

Start by inspecting the as_sld(pretty_print=True) entry point used in the example and reproduce the generated SLD ordering with the shown filter and PolygonSymbolizer. Compare the output with the required styling order; done means the filter is emitted in the correct position relative to the symbolizer and the existing output behavior remains covered.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When I go to print my sld out my filter ends up below my symbolizer. Is there any way to avoid since this violates sld styling policies? Here is my code.

mysld = sld.StyledLayerDescriptor()
nl = mysld.create_namedlayer('test')
ustyle = nl.create_userstyle()
fts = ustyle.create_featuretypestyle()
firstRule = fts.create_rule('test',sld.PolygonSymbolizer)
firstRule.create_filter('value', '>', 'T')
print mysld.as_sld(pretty_print=True)
