[petsc-users] matrix reordering

   Mohammad,

     We've thought about adding this kind of support this over the years but always came to the conclusion that "the right way to do it" is during the mesh setup step.

Can I use the MatPartitioning object for this or is that only intended to partition the mesh as a pre-processing step?
