[ncl-talk] Panel plots direction (top to bottom first, then left to right)

[Kyle Griffin]

Change the order with which you store the plots in the array that is called
in gsn_panel.

phases = new(8,graphic)
phases(0) = phase1plot
phases(1) = phase5plot
phases(2) = phase2plot
phases(3) = phase6plot
...and so on for all 8.

You'll also have to re-arrange your text annotations (such as labeling each
as panel a and b) if you are setting any in the panel resources.
