More determinism issues

[AhmedGenbai]

Opening here since my other discussion was closed:

Upon checking once more locally, it looks like the file sorting stabilized the node/link count but the community count still varies from run to run:

Run 1: 25790 nodes | 47169 links | 1633 communities
Run 2: 25790 nodes | 47169 links | 1634 communities
Run 3: 25790 nodes | 47169 links | 1634 communities
Run 4: 25790 nodes | 47169 links | 1635 communities

And Im also seeing that the nodes assigned to each community also change:

Run 1 -> Run 2: 19873 nodes changed community (77.1%)
Run 2 -> Run 3: 22794 nodes changed community (88.4%)
Run 3 -> Run 4: 22016 nodes changed community (85.4%)

From what I understand the seeded Leiden algorithm should produce the same communities each time, so perhaps there is still some randomization happening somewhere?

Would appreciate you taking a look into this as well @safishamsi !

Thanks for your insights!
