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

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi Matt,

I don't know definitively, but my reading of the docs on dim_pqsort
suggest, along with its attendant example #2, suggest that it does indeed
do what you want.  You could cobble together a small test case to verify.

HTH...
