Thank you Prof Wolfgang for the reply. Yes I meant DoF indices. Since get the level 1 mesh globally refined from level 0 (hyper_cube), if I make both of these levels active at the same time, does dealii default numbering scheme gets the dofs on the lowest level numbered first followed by the numbering of the remaining dofs on level 1? Hence my query is that "Is there anyway I can make both these levels active at the same time and obtain the default numbering of dofs like above?" I just want to avoid writing my my own algorithm to get the required numbering to avoid any bugs which might be tricky when you have non-uniform mesh.
Many thanks for your reply!
