I'm trying to use graphviz on media wiki as a documentation tool for software.

First, I documented some class relationships which worked well. Everything was ranked vertically as expected.

But, then, some of our modules are dlls, which I wanted to seperate into a box. When I added the nodes to a cluster, they got edged, but clusters seem to have a LR ranking rule. Or being added to a cluster broke the TB ranking of the nodes as the cluster now appears on the side of the graph.

This graph represents what I am trying to do: at the moment, cluster1 and cluster2 appear to the right of cluster0.

I want/need them to appear below.

<graphviz>
digraph d {
    subgraph cluster0 {
      A -> {B1 B2}
      B2 -> {C1 C2 C3}
      C1 -> D;
    }
    subgraph cluster1 {
      C2 -> dll1_A;
      dll1_A -> B1;
    }
    subgraph cluster2 { 
      C3 -> dll2_A;
    }
    dll1_A -> dll2_A;
}
</graphviz>
