[petsc-users] DMPlex doubt

This is a Matt question and I recall a question on getting the original
node ordering recently, but I am not finding it.

How is your Plex created? If you give it a mesh and don't distribute it the
node ordering does not change.
In that case you can use a simpler version Brandon's code:
ierr = DMGetCoordinatesLocal(dm, &coordinates);CHKERRQ(ierr);
Then use VecView.

However, I don't understand what you are trying to do exactly. Are you just
verifying that PLex has the correct coordinates?
