Given the output shown in comment #0, the merge order would be the order show for "[ebuild N ]" packages, read from bottom to top (it's reversed because without --tree the order reads from top to bottom).
If you're saying that the "[nomerge ]" nodes shouldn't be shown, then I'm not sure how we can do that and still meet the main goal of --tree which is to show dependency relationships. I'm open to suggestions if you can think of a better way to display a PDEPEND relationship while still displaying the actual merge order. It's unfortunate that packages are displayed more than once in cases like this, but given the way that the --tree display works, how else can dependency relationships and merge order be displayed simultaneously?
