  Synopsis [Computes a total ordering on the combinational outputs of a
  network.]

  Description [Computes a total ordering on the combinational outputs of a
  network. First, the algorithm orders the data inputs using the permutation
  algorithm (Aziz et al, "BDD Variable Ordering for Interacting FSMs", DAC
  1994, p. 283).  Then, it orders the remaining combinational outputs in order
  of decreasing depth.  Finally, the second list is appended to the first.]
