Orders the levels of a mapped character to match across trees in a "multiSimmap"
object.
orderMappedEdge(trees, ordering=NULL)
An object of class "simmap"
or (normally) "multiSimmap"
.
object of class "phylo"
or "multiPhylo"
.
ordering for the columns of $mapped.edge
. If NULL
, then an alphabetical order is assumed. Options are "alphabetical"
, "numerical"
, or any specific ordering of the mapped traits (e.g., c("A","B","C")
.

This function takes a an object of class "multiSimmap"
with a mapped discrete character (e.g., see make.simmap
and sorts the columns of each tree$mapped.edge
element to have the same state ordering.
This is handy if we want to, for instance, run brownie.lite
on a set of mapped trees, and then average the fitted parameter values across trees. The function also works for a single tree.
