[Mesquitelist] Simple question about ordering characters

[Michel Laurin]

Hello,

	Does anybody know how to order all 
characters of a matrix of discrete characters in 
Mesquite? In MacClade, that could be done from a 
list of characters, but the equivalent list in 
Mesquite gives access to probablitiy models (for 
maximum likelihood analysis), but not ordering 
schemes (for parsimony), apparently. The only way 
I have found is to open a tree, trace each 
character, and then choose ordering. This is not 
ideal, especially if there are many characters.

	Sincerely,

	Michel
