71 * Returns -1 if feature1 is displayed before (below) feature 2, +1 if
72 * feature2 is displayed after (on top of) feature1, or 0 if we don't care.
75 * Note that this is the opposite ordering to how features are displayed in
76 * the feature settings dialogue. FeatureRendererModel.setFeaturePriority
77 * takes care of converting between the two.
