- Abstract
Determine the order of elements in a double precision array.
- Required_Reading
None.
- Brief_I/O
VARIABLE I/O DESCRIPTION
-------- --- --------------------------------------------------
array I Input array.
ndim I Dimension of array.
iorder O Order vector for array.
- Detailed_Input
array is the input array.
ndim is the number of elements in the input array.
- Detailed_Output
iorder is the order vector for the input array.
iorder[0] is the index of the smallest element
of array; iorder[1] is the index of the next
smallest; and so on.
The elements of iorder range from zero to ndim-1.
- Parameters
None.
- Particulars
orderd_c finds the index of the smallest element of the input
array. This becomes the first element of the order vector.
The process is repeated for the rest of the elements.
The order vector returned by orderd_c may be used by any of
the reord* routines to sort sets of related arrays, as shown
in the example below.
- Examples
In the following example, the order* and reord* routines are
used to sort four related arrays (containing the names,
masses, integer ID codes, and visual magnitudes for a group
of satellites). This is representative of the typical use of
these routines.
#include "SpiceUsr.h"
.

.
/.
Sort the object arrays by name.
./
orderc_c ( namlen, names, n, iorder );
reordc_c ( iorder, n, namlen, names );
reordd_c ( iorder, n, masses );
reordi_c ( iorder, n, codes );
reordd_c ( iorder, n, vmags );
