Subject: Re: [APDL] - Sorting a matrix in ascending or descending order.
Author: Bob Weathers
Date: 2003-02-13 16:33:00

I pulled this out of a macro that I wrote to sort on z coordinates.

*GET, nrNODES, NODE, , COUNT ! count how many nodes there are

*DEL, MyXYZ ! delete MyXYZ if it exists
*DIM, MyXYZ, ARRA, nrNODES, 3 ! dimension an array for X, Y, Z

*VGE, MyXYZ(1,1), NODE, , LOC, X ! get the X coordinates
*VGE, MyXYZ(1,2), NODE, , LOC, Y ! get the Y coordinates
*VGE, MyXYZ(1,3), NODE, , LOC, Z ! get the Z coordinates

*DEL, OldOrder ! delete OldOrder if it exists
*DIM, OldOrder, ARRA, nrNODES ! place to put the old order
*MOP, OldOrder(1), MyXYZ(1,3), SORT, MyXYZ(1,3) ! to sort on Z

Hope it helps. Maybe I misunderstood what you're trying to do?
