The Circular layout spreads out the nodes in opposite direction

[postulkam]

The circular layout spreads out the nodes in the opposite direction than selected (clockwise vs. counterclockwise). I think it depends on the order of adding nodes.

Try the examples with full cycles in the diagram, and then try to remove the link with the linkDA key. Even without a cycle in the diagram, there are still some problems.

You need to set CircularLayout.sorting to be either Ascending or Descending, as desired. https://gojs.net/latest/api/symbols/CircularLayout.html#sorting
