Thanks...here's the code. However, it looks like the output I am processing does not actually come with post-order labeling.

I.e., in the 2nd plot below:

node 1 should be labeled 1
node 10 should be labeled 2
node 2 should be labeled 3
node 14 should be labeled 4
node 3 should be labeled 5
...etc...

What is the name of this sort of ordering? Or are there 2 sorts of post-ordering?

Cheers,
Nick

Hi Nick.

If you use the function
reorder.phylo(...,order="pruningwise") the resultant tree
edge matrix is suitable for post-order traversal (i.e., the
daughters always precede the parents in top-to-bottom matrix
traversal). This might be helpful for what you would like to
do - for instance if you just label the nodes as they are
first encountered in the matrix this would be in the order
of a post-order traversal of the tree.

All the best, Liam
