TOPIC: Order of markers

Is there a way to have different order of markers on the list and on the map?
We have 6 categories with different icons. The best markers have green icon, the worst have red icon. Icons are the same size.
Problem is some markers are on the same position and you can see only red icon (green is below).
It is natural to show first best markers with green color on the list.
I understand markers are generated on map in the same order like on the list view. Is there a way to change this?

We use custom 'order by' in query for getting markers.

So you have a category that contains the best markers (the green one) and a category that contains the worst?

yes, what's more - there are 5 categories + one default.

well. What are the names of the categories? Can you order by category name for example?
How is hotspots supposed to know which markers are good and which aren't?

We can't order categories by names. Only by ID makes sense.
Markers are ordered by extra column in table with markers. We use this column in plugin in onBeforeBuildQuery to change order of markers.

We have found other way to do this - different sizes of icons.
The best ones (green) are the biggest.
The worst ones (red / black) are the smallest.
Now on chart you can see all different icons on one place.

Cool idea! Can we see at least a screenshot?
