Change the default baselayer without changing the layer order

[josemvm]

the user can't change the default base layer. now the default base layer is the first base layer in the base layers tree, so the can't sort the base layers...

You mean you don't change the first layer in group baselayers ? Why ?

[josemvm]

qgis desktop (base layers order):

lwc (the first base layer in the tree from qgis desktop is the default base layer (Google Terrain):

if the user want to order in alphabetical order the base layers, like: Google Hybrid Google Satellite Google Terrain OpenStreetMap OpenTopoMap

the firt base layer in alphabetical order from qgis desktop is the default base layer on lwc (Google Hybrid)

Edited

So you want in LWC, the content of the drop down menu to be :

1. Google Hybrid
2. Google Satellite
3. Google Terrain ← Default layer when landing on LWC landing page
4. OpenStreetMap
5. OpenTopoMap

Correct ? To have a custom order in the dropdown menu, but to have a custom default layer when landing on LWC ?

@Gustry perfect! IMMO this is what should be expected

IMMO this is what should be expected

It's not a bug for now, but a feature request.

For me too, before we were able to select the default baselayer, independently from the order! Even if it was a request, in my opinion it is a regression.

[josemvm]

in my opinion it is a regression

this is a feature present in version 3.6

[katagen]

Don't know, but on 3.5, I was able to select the default baselayer! So, not to be able to do that on 3.7, it is a regression!

I agree. Hence the suggestion to also control the active baselayers via the QGIS themes (see https://github.com/3liz/lizmap-web-client/issues/4501)
