Sub-component ordering issue

[akerouanton]

Hello,

First of all, thanks for your great project.

After several attemps, it looks like sub-component ordering is not working as expected.

In the following example, the subcomponent "middlewares" should come first and "storage" subcomponent should be at the right of "middlewares". Unfortunately, there's no way to get that, even with a hidden arrow (with right indication):

node "my\nsubprocess" {
    [stdout]
}

node "my process" {
    node "middlewares" as middlewares {
        [stdout] -right-> [some processing]
    }
    node "storage" as storage {
        [some processing] -right-> [storage writer]
    }
    middlewares -[hidden]right-> storage
}

Another option is to use the left to right direction

Hope this help!

@arnaudroques Thanks, indeed it works properly with this directive. However, if I add bottom notes they are not placed correctly now. It's not a big deal, but still a bit surprising.

@startuml
left to right direction
node "my\nsubprocess" {
    [stdout]
}

node "my process" {
    node "middlewares" as middlewares {
        [stdout] --> [some processing]
    }
    node "storage" as storage {
        [some processing] --> [storage writer]
    }
}

note bottom of [some processing] : io.Writer
note bottom of [storage writer] : io.Writer

gives me:

Sounds like a bug.
Top and bottom are inverted :-)

We'll have a look at it...
