How to sort heatmap of multi samples?

Hello,

Thank you for giving nice program. I have a question about sorting heatmap. I'm using '--sortUsing' option when I draw heatmap. In manual, there is no detailed explanation about this. When I have many samples, how to consider 'max' or 'mean' values?

--sortUsing {mean,median,max,min,sum,region_length} Indicate which method should be used for sorting. For each row the method is computed. For region_length, a dashed line is drawn at the end of the region (reference point TSS and center) or the beginning of the region (reference point TES) as appropriate.

Thanks! Dahun.

They're the max/mean/etc. of all samples together. Internally, all of the samples are in the same matrix (as ranges of columns), the rows of which are being sorted.
