complex sort

[Canalian]

Hi,

I am trying to sort a complex column in order of their individual sums. I was given code snippet by Altenbach (On top) which worked great, however I mistakenly said all my data would be real which it wasnt. So what I am trying to do is modify it for complex data. I tryed to replace sort 1d array with sort complex but I keep getting a data type mismatch. I am fairly new at this and have been stuck on this for quite a while now.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

How do you sort complex data?  Which is greater 1 +0j or 0 +1j?  What you need to do is convert your complex number to a real number and feed that into your cluster that you sort.  Whether that is just taking the real part, or if that is converting it to a vector length.
