Github user spmallette commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/892 Ok - personally, I'm not in favor of an `Integer` only approach because it is too narrow a case and only helps TinkerGraph in one specific situation. I think that for your use case of regression testing you already have a normalized GraphML file so that's already ok, but you don't have the "human readable" order you would like which seems like less of a concern in the bigger picture of things. perhaps we just focus on getting #891 merged and leave the ordering as it currently is?
