Sorting MSAs to match trees

If a phylogenetic tree has been calculated for a multiple alignment, you can sort the alignment to match the tree. This can be a rapid way to sort sequences into phylogenetic groups.

- With the MSA editor window or Tree Viewer window active, choose Analyze | Phylogenetic Analyses | Sort MSA by Tree.

The multiple alignment is sorted to match the tree sequence order.
