#' Reorder a correlation matrix.
#'
#' Draw rectangle(s) around the chart of corrrlation matrix based on the number
#' of each cluster's members.
#'
#' @param corr Correlation matrix to reorder.
#'
#' @param order Character, the ordering method for the correlation matrix.
#' \itemize{
#'    \item{\code{'AOE'} for the angular order of the eigenvectors.
#'      It is calculated from the order of the angles, \eqn{a_i}:
#'      \deqn{ a_i = arctan (e_{i2} / e_{i1}), if e_{i1} > 0}
#'      \deqn{ a_i = arctan (e_{i2} / e_{i1}) + \pi, otherwise.}
#'      where \eqn{e_1} and \eqn{e_2} are the largest two eigenvalues
#'      of matrix \code{corr}.
#'      See Michael Friendly (2002) for details.}
#'    \item{\code{'FPC'} for the first principal component order.}
#'    \item{\code{'hclust'} for hierarchical clustering order.}
#'    \item{\code{'alphabet'} for alphabetical order.}
#' }
#'
#' @param hclust.method Character, the agglomeration method to be used when
#'   \code{order} is \code{hclust}. This should be one of \code{'ward'},
#'   \code{'ward.D'}, \code{'ward.D2'}, \code{'single'}, \code{'complete'},
#'   \code{'average'}, \code{'mcquitty'}, \code{'median'} or \code{'centroid'}.
#'
#' @return Returns a single permutation vector.
#'
#' @seealso Package \code{seriation} offers more methods to reorder matrices,
#'   such as ARSA, BBURCG, BBWRCG, MDS, TSP, Chen and so forth.
