Issue with Feature Layer orderBy

MatthieuThery1 — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 10:00:06 GMT

Hi,

We have experienced some issues with orderBy property for the Feature Layer when using complex CIM symbols.

If we are using dashed lines (CIMGeometricEffectDashes) it seems to break the order. If we replace it with normal lines the order is respected.

It results in a renderer that looks different on the map and in arcgis pro in these cases.

Hi @MatthieuThery1, thanks for sharing your issue here. Do you have a simplified repro case (hosted on codepen or somewhere) that we could take a look at?

Hello @Noah-Sager thanks for your response, sorry for responding back on this matter because it took a while to prepare data for public and codepen.

This how we see the layer in ArcGIS Pro;

This how it is visualised in JS API with dashed lines;

if I switch to solid lines, it is being rendered corrrectly;

Here is the Codepen: https://codepen.io/mtrcn/pen/zxBbZqM
