[BioC] Most specific common ancestor for GO terms

Hello Everyone,

I need to get the most specific common ancestor for several GO terms.

I get the ancestors for the GO-terms (using mget(goTerms,
GOBPANCESTOR) ) and intersect the lists without problem, but I haven't
found a way to determine which GO-term from the common ancestor list
is the most specific without looking at them manually.

Is there a way to order GO terms from general to specific?

Thanks!

Lourdes
