Using vorder

Hello to everyone,

I have in a graph several separated trees, paths and cyclic graphs. When I
output it, it is a really mess(sfdp layout) as I have labels as well. I
would like to know if there is a clever way to order(using vorder or other
resource) all of it in a way that all the components(paths, trees and cyclic
graphs) are well distributed in the space of the image and not in a circular
way.

In general there is no magic way of making a layout look good if you
have many nodes with labels. If you want specific advice, please post a
concrete example with output, and so on.

Best,
Tiago
