Re: Question about lat2D and lonPivot

lonPivot and lonFlip can only be used on rectilinear grids.
Rectilinear grids are ones where the coordinate variables
are one dimensional: lat[*] and lon[*]

I addded comments to the documentation.

===
A curvilinear grid where grid points are specified
by two dimensional arrays: lat[*][*] and lon[*][*]

I think you will have to write custom code to reorder
the grids the way you want.

Good Luck
