[Paraview] Pipeline not respecting the arrow of time after changing the inputs of a filter

Hi Utkarsh,

Thank you for your answer. As a user, especially with a complex tree, I found this unpractical. I have the reflex when searching for a filter to scroll down if the filters is "afterward". 

I do prefer the GitTree representation of ParaViewWeb. My opinion is that a GitTree could be the optimal representation of the pipeline. 

The GitKraken GitTree could be a good inspiration for a redesigned pipeline browser 😊. 

Best regards

Jonathan Borduas

Jonathan,

The arrow is not intended to have a "top/down" direction, just a "back-to-root" direction. It can be interpreted as "ProgrammableFilter1" can be found somewhere on the main trunk.
