Gerbview enhancements:
In rev 5298, I added support to used recent File Format Attribute
metadata, both for X2 Gerber file format and X1 (R274X) format.
See:
www.ucamco.com/files/downloads/file/81/the_gerber_file_format_specification.pdf

Pcbnew already uses this attribute when creating Gerber files, both
using X2 attribute and X1 usual format.

Because Gerber files using this attribute identify the board layers
stack-up, Gerbview (obviously when this attribute is defined in Gerber
files, but this is the case for files recently created by Pcbnew) can
sort Gerber images stack-up like the board.

In layer manager, just right click to access to the sort menu.

Can you test this feature and see if all is OK?
