Note
Sorting Order is determined by the coordinates.
In other words, the numbering starts in a sequence from the node with the smallest coordinate to the node with the largest coordinate in the axis with the highest priority. When the coordinates of more than one node are equal in an assigned axis, the numbering restarts in the axis with the next priority from the node with the smallest coordinate.
