Ordering by clustering similarity:
Hierarchical clustering via UPGMA
Hierarchical clustering methods require two ingredients
1. Distance metric
Examples: Euclidean distance, maximum distance
2. Linkage criteria
Examples:
- Unweighted average linkage clustering
(unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean, UPGMA) - Complete linkage clustering
- Minimum energy clustering
(See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_clustering)

Hierarchical clustering via UPGMA
In general, distances are weighted by # of data points added to the new cluster: \[\begin{eqnarray} d_{(C, E): (A, (B, D))} &=& \\ \qquad\qquad(d_{(C, E): A} &+& 2 d_{(C, E): (B, D)})/(1+2) \end{eqnarray}\]
