<div>Does dim_pqsort do this?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
In my example, if I did x = dim_pqsort(precip, -2) , is x the indices of the sorted array (descending) that I could apply to the other variables to order them consistent with precip?

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Trying to sort multiple 1D vectors according to one primary vector. For example, I have temp, rh, wind, and precip as 1D vectors of the same length, and they corresponding in time. How can I sort precip descending and attached the corresponding temp, rh,
and wind to it, without a loop? </div>
