_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     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.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     order.dendrogram(x)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: A dendrogram (see 'as.dendrogram').

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The indices for the leaves in left to right order are retrieved.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     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)

_A_u_t_h_o_r(_s):

     R. Gentleman

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'reorder', 'dendrogram'.

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

       set.seed(123)
       x <- rnorm(10)
       hc <- hclust(dist(x))
       hc$order
       dd <- as.dendrogram(hc)
       order.dendrogram(dd)
