The route_port_ordering_file is capable of doing it, however the complexity of setting it up would be far past the knowledge base for the average system administrator. It would be far more difficult than setting up the 'guid_routing_order' file or 'dimn_ports_file' for DOR. To me, the generic 'route_port_ordering_file' is an option most useful for special cases. We've been using 'remote_guid_sorting' for almost a year now on multiple clusters. Without much effort, it gives all the clusters a nice 5-7% speedup.
