This data comes in netcdf format with output every 1-2 seconds. The data is binned into hourly netcdf files. I read in the data using addfiles so that I can store all of it together instead of looping over each one. I want to compare and average this data around the time of a dropsonde release. When I read in the data, the time dimension gets out of order and is not in increasing time. I have tried to do qsort and dim_pqsort_n in conjunction with example 3 here (<a href="https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/dim_pqsort_n.shtml" target="_blank">https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/<wbr>Document/Functions/Built-in/<wbr>dim_pqsort_n.shtml</a>), but for some reason I can't find out how to re-order my temperature and moisture data along the time dimension.</div><div><br></div><div>My temperature and moisture data has format of (time, level).
