Description: An implementation of functions to optimize ordering of
        nodes in a dendrogram, without affecting the meaning of the
        dendrogram. A dendrogram can be sorted based on the average
        distance of subtrees, or based on the smallest distance value.
        These sorting methods improve readability and interpretability
        of tree structure, especially for tasks such as comparison of
        different distance measures or linkage types and identification
        of tight clusters and outliers. As a result, it also introduces
        more meaningful reordering for a coupled heatmap visualization.
        This method is described in "dendsort: modular leaf ordering
        methods for dendrogram representations in R", F1000Research
        2014, 3: 177 <doi:10.12688/f1000research.4784.1>.
