I think there is a way to do this with plex (at least we do it), like so:

DMPlexGetOrdering(dm, MATORDERINGRCM, NULL, &isperm);

you might need to then invert this ordering.

Now when you make a section you either say

PetscSectionSetPermutation(section, isperm);

before PetscSectionSetup(section);

or, if you're using DMPlexCreateSection, pass in the isperm

This gives RCM-based ordering for the dof numbering of the section.

Cheers,
