GraphViewer extends the StructuredViewer class, but it can't sort nodes in graph. I has search the source, but i can't find any sort method.

Reproducible: Always

I'm not really sure "sort" makes sense in a graph.  In a list i can understand this.  In a graph the concept of a layout is more attractive.  

Do you have an idea of what "sort" should do?

I think its very intresting in a horizontal Treelayout. We use this for group an member displaying. in a group are often more then 50 persons. In this situation ist good to sort the members.

but i've a solution for my problem. i set a comperator for the layoutmanager. This comperator alway retuns 0. after this step i can sort on my content provider.
