R help - Sep 2011 - cutree() and rect.hclust(): different labelling of classes

I've found that while cutree() and rect.hclust() make the same classes
for a given height in the dendrogram, the actual labeling of the classes 
is different. For example, both produce the same 4 classes but
class 1 according to cutree() is class 4 according to rect.hclust().
Would it be possible that future versions provide the same labeling?
rect.hclust() is useful to display the classes over the dendrogram but
the output from cutree() is often more handy.
Thanks
Agus

Hi, Agustin,
I also encountered similar problems when cutting trees. However, I think one
himself/ herself has to figure out the components of each cluster. The
labels that are generated by the current packages simply only distinguish
one cluster from another, but do not have more meanings.
