Feeding R agnes object into cutree I'm using agnes to group terms that frequently appear with one another in a set of documents. I get a dendrogram which verifies that things are working as expected. From this, I'd like to to retrieve the cluster of each member. I'm using cutree to cut the tree at a specified height, but it is returning one extra cluster, I'm not sure why.

length(flex75$order.lab)
[1] 132
length(cutree(flex75, h = 1.5))
[1] 133


It occurs for varying heights, even up to h = max(flex75$height) and all clusters = 1. So I cannot bind the labels to their clusters. 

EDIT:

I found the issue to be when I reorder flex75$height to be in ascending order (I was previously receiving an error that: the 'height' component of 'tree' is not sorted (increasingly)). I was also reordering the $order and $order.lab components using the $height order, and turns out that height is of length n-1 and order/order.lab is of length n. 

My question now is: What is the relationship between the agnes object's $height vector, and the $order/$order.lab vectors? Can I permute the heights, as I have, and feed that object into cutree? Should any of the object's other properties be correspondingly changed?
I found an answer in a related post here. Another user was getting a similar error about ordering height, but theirs came with the suggestion to apply as.hclust() first. I converted the agnes object to an hclust and passed that directly into cutree. That seemed to solve the problem.
