Bug #43316 for Graph-Easy: Ordering Grouped Nodes

Hi Tels, Thanks for creating Graph::Easy. It's a great module. I'm using it for creating inheritance graphs: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Class-Sniff/ (See the 'graph' method) Unfortunately, I can't figure out any way of ensuring that Graph::Easy respects the order in which I add parents. This is problematic because if someone is using multiple inheritance (bad, I know, but that's a code smell this module is designed to detect), the graph might show the wrong order in which parents were inherited. I'm now trying to add proper groups to graphs and being able to control the left-to-right ordering of nodes would be useful. The following is my simple test case: use Graph::Easy; my $graph = Graph::Easy->new; $graph->set_attribute( 'graph', 'flow', 'up' ); my $group = $graph->add_group; $group->add_nodes(qw<AA BB CC DD>); $graph->add_edge_once(qw<Foo AA>); $graph->add_edge_once(qw<Foo BB>); $graph->add_edge_once(qw<Foo CC>); $graph->add_edge_once(qw<Foo DD>); $graph->add_edge_once(qw<AA UNIVERSAL>); $graph->add_edge_once(qw<BB UNIVERSAL>); $graph->add_edge_once(qw<CC UNIVERSAL>); $graph->add_edge_once(qw<DD UNIVERSAL>); print $graph->as_ascii; my $graphviz = $graph->as_graphviz(); open my $DOT, '|dot -Tpng -o groups.png' or die("Cannot open pipe to dot: $!"); print $DOT $graphviz; I've attached a png to let you see what's happening. The AA, BB, CC, DD order is not preserved. I realize that this may not be useful for graphs in general, but it would save me a lot of pain if I could figure this out :) Cheers, Ovid
