1D Sort with Index array

[ShotSimon]

I am looking for a very quick way to do a 1D Sort of an array and still keep track of the indices. 

Anyone have a good algorithm for this?  Similar to the 1D array sort but has in additional array that shows the index of what went where. 

 

Regards,

Autoindex your array into a FOR loop and bundle the element and the loop index into a cluster which is autoindexed on the right border. Sort the cluster.

Wire the array into a loop, bundle the i terminal and the value and wire out. Sort the new array and the i element will give you the index. OpenG has a VI which does this:

Well, they beat me to it, but I have a nice picture of my solution, so I'll go ahead and post it 🙂

Hey, I made one too! 😄 (Looks pretty similar, except for the transpose at the end.)

All,

Very nice and thank you for the quick reply.  Tst thanks for elaborating on the OpenG I don't know why but I've never used this before.  Altenbach and Corys thanks for the quick diagrams, I saw some post on the forums but didn't fully understand them until now.  -SS

Altenbach,

I was surprised to see you like the large icon look?  No problem I just always figured you as a small icon type of guy

1D sort documentation doesn't do this vi sub justice:)  Thank you for the very fun elegant solution!  -SS
