Description

I am trying to get a graph where the nodes are ordered top to bottom dependant upon their layer value.

I am happily attaching nodes to the same layer but then msagl then puts them on the same visual layer.
I am trying to get layer like:
--------1
--------2
3--- 3-----3----- 3
4----4-----4-----4

But I get something like

1----2----3----3----3-----3
-----------4---4-----4-----4

Is there anyway to do this?

Research direction

Done should establish whether the requested top-to-bottom ordering is supported and identify the relevant configuration or required change.
