In this paper, we study the metric property of LexBFS- ordering on AT-free graphs. Based on a 2-sweep LexBFS algorithm, we show that every AT-free graph admits a vertex ordering, called the strong 2-cocomparability ordering, that for any three vertices u ≺ v ≺ w in the ordering, if d(u, w) ≤ 2 then d(u, v) = 1 or d(v, w) ≤ 2. As an application of this ordering, we provide a simple linear time recognition algorithm for bipartite permutation graphs, which form a subclass of AT-free graphs.
