[MOAB-dev] Order of entities returned by iMesh_getEntAdj

[Chris Eldred]

Hey Moab-Dev,

Are the adjacent entities returned by iMesh_getEntAdj in any sort of order?

For example, consider a mesh of quadrilaterals. Get the edges adjacent
to a given face. If the edges are numbered according the convention
defined by MOAB
(http://www.mcs.anl.gov/uploads/cels/papers/P1573A.pdf) I would get
the array (0,1,2,3) or some shifted version of this. Will
iMesh_getEntAdj return (0,1,2,3) (or a shifted/flipped version of it),
or could I get something like (1,3,2,0) back (where the edges are not
ordered with respect to a CW or CCW traverse around the face)?

Thanks,
-Chris Eldred
