No, you'll be ok in that case. It actually does "ORDER BY fileid  
DESC,timestamp", so they're grouped by GPX file first, timestamp second.

Hm, could have a look but I'm not 100% sure it'll work easily; Flash  
doesn't actually have a 'point' primitive, only lines. I guess drawing  
a very very short line might work, but I'll have to see how well it  
works.

Potlatch has its own API that talks in SWF and AMF (ActionScript  
Message Format) rather than XML.
