[ncl-talk] Sorting an array depending on first column

[Dennis Shea]

Similar to Karin's but use 'dim_pqsort_n'
  http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/dim_pqsort_n.shtml


 Ain = (/ (/2,1,3/), (/6,2,4/), (/3,1,5/), (/1,7,4/) /)

 i   = dim_pqsort_n(Ain(:,0), 1, 0)
 print(i)

 dimA = dimsizes(Ain)
 nrow = dimA(0)

 Aout = Ain
 do nr= 0,nrow-1
    Aout(nr,:) = Ain(i(nr),:)
 end do
