I think dim_pqsort is what you want:
ncl 0> a = (/1,2,3/)
ncl 1> b = (/8,3,7/)
ncl 2> ib = dim_pqsort(b,2)
ncl 3> print(b)
Variable: b
Type: integer
Total Size: 12 bytes
3 values
Number of Dimensions: 1
Dimensions and sizes: [3]
Coordinates:
(0) 3
(1) 7
(2) 8
ncl 4> a = a(ib)
ncl 5> print(a)
Variable: a
Type: integer
Total Size: 12 bytes
3 values
Number of Dimensions: 1
Dimensions and sizes: [3]
Coordinates:
(0) 2
(1) 3
(2) 1
