Reverse order of map[edit]

I think it would be best to reverse the order of stations in the schematic map, to reflect the roughly north-south orientation in a way that the reader is more likely to expect. It's a bit complex to do, and I'm not very familiar with the relevant templates etc., so I'm just bringing it up for comment instead of being bold. -Pete (talk) 19:59, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and I've long wished that someone would do that – and also for the MAX Yellow Line's map – but I, too, don't know how to do it. If I were to attempt it, I'd make a lot of mistakes in the process, and it would take me several hours (or even a couple of evenings, just for one map), which is too much time. I hope someone who has experience using these map templates will make this change. SJ Morg (talk) 20:39, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I also moved it into a template so that it can fit into the info-box. There are a few size issues to fix, but at least it's not sticking down beneath the rest of the article now. JohnMcButts (talk) 23:36, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. That's a big improvement. SJ Morg (talk) 06:39, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
