order of arguments is important in graphml export #117

Hi, In Linux, export-graphml expects the order of arguments in certain order. The README document says that export-graphml [-o out.graphml] [-t] [-r] [match (n:Foo)-[r]->() return n,r] is how the command should be issued. However when I run that way, I get error:

$ export-graphml -o out.graphml -t -r MATCH (n)--(p) WHERE p.count=0 AND n.count <> 0 RETURN n,p
QueryExecutionException: Invalid input '-': expected <init> (line 1, column 1 (offset: 0))
"-r MATCH (n)--(p) WHERE p.count=0 AND n.count <> 0 RETURN n,p"
 ^

But, when I change the order of arguments it works without problem.

$ export-graphml -t -r -o out.graphml MATCH (n)--(p) WHERE p.count=0 AND n.count <> 0 RETURN n,p

I thought this should be mentioned in README file.. Thanks..

And I'm guessing the issue #114 is also about the order of argument. The user kept the order as mentioned in README file and got error.
