[ncl-talk] sort multiple 1D vectors with a common timestamp according to one, without a loop

[Matthew Fearon]

Does dim_pqsort do this?

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?

thanks for the help.

Dear NCL users,

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?

thanks,
Matt
