Re: hovmueller plots

I don't think the order should matter. NCL will plot your data so that the smaller time is on the bottom.
If you don't want this behavior, then set:

  res@trYReverse = True

As for longitudes, they will go from west to east on the X axis. I'm not sure what happens if your longitudes
have a "jump" in them, like going from, say, 270 to 360, and then from -180 to -160.

If you have longitudes that "jump" like this, you might want to look at the "lonFlip" procedure:
