\title{ Get the ordering of the leaves in a dendrogram }
\description{
  This function returns the order (index) for the leaves in a
  dendrogram.  These indices can then be used to access the appropriate
  components of any additional data.
}
\usage{
order.dendrogram(x)
}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{A dendrogram (see \code{\link{as.dendrogram}}).}
}
\details{
  The indices for the leaves in left to right order are retrieved.
}
\value{
  A vector with length equal to the number of leaves in the dendrogram
  is returned.  Each element is the index into the original data (from
  which the dendrogram was computed)
