Gitk Branch Ordering

Hi,

I have noticed that gitk does not order the branches it draws the same
way as 'git log --graph'

'git log' seems to keep your current branch as the leftmost line. In
the below screenshot here
(https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9b8DuGRceMSTHgzV3dBZkxiTVU&authuser=0)
master is the current branch. It is the leftmost branch and we can see
that at faf2797 someone made a branch and later merged it back into
master. This is shown as a bump out to the right.

However in gitk this is not the case. In the shot here
(https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9b8DuGRceMSNUJjbEhGaDZXeTg&authuser=0)
the same commits are shown but the bump is out to the left. Master is
in the middle of a number of branches.

This is counter intuitive (to me at least). I can't seem to find any
setting or argument that will have gitk behave the same as 'git log'
with regards to branch ordering.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Nathan Mascitelli
