[ncl-talk] question about sorting

[Marston Johnston]

Hi,

Have a look at https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/dim_pqsort.shtml
I think it can do what you want. Give it a try with your test example. The examples are pretty good.

    Dear NCL support,
    
    i have perhaps a bit silly question but i stuck up and have to ask:
    
    suppose i have 2D array like:
       2015     1     1
       2016     2     1
       1981     1     2
       1982     1     0
       1981     0     2
    how can i sort it out in a way that first column is from 1981-2016 but 
    rows stay attached to the year so on the end it looks like this:
    
       1981     1     2
       1981     0     2
       1982     1     0
       2015     1     1
       2016     2     1
    
    the order within same year (1981) is not relevant.
    Is there some NCL function for that and how to use it correctly?
    
    Kindly,
    Damjan
