[R-sig-Geo] sp2WB in Maptools - order of polygons

You will need to find a match between your polygons and your data.
Usually, this is done by means of an area ID (postcode, district code,
etc.). Then you can reorder either your polygons or your data to have
both in the same order, and then produce the files (maps and data) for
WinBUGS.

Best wishes,
