If canonical rational expression (CRE) form will work for you, take a
look at rat(..., var1, var2, ...) and at ratvars. CRE form is a
polynomial of polynomials:
p:x+x*y+y^2+1
=> y^2+x*y+x+1
rat(p,x,y)
=> y^2+x*y+x+1
rat(p,y,x)
=> (y+1)*x+y^2+1
Otherwise, I think you have to use ordergreat. Still, variables should
print correctly despite ordergreat.
