<h3>9.3.34: `<font color="#82140F"><code>reorder</code></font>'</h3>

<TABLE SUMMARY="Example" BORDER="0" BGCOLOR="#efefef" WIDTH="100%">
<TR>
<TD>
<PRE>
<font color="#82140F">
`reorder columns randomly \
|{ascending in x|y|z} \

</font></PRE>

</TR>
</TABLE>
<p>
Reorder the columns in various ways.
<p>
In the `<font color="#82140F"><code>randomly</code></font>' style, the column data are shuffled randomly by
index, retaining the correspondance between a given x and y. This is
useful with `<font color="#82140F"><code>draw symbol</code></font>' using colored dots -- it prevents the
overpainting of one dot on another from biasing the color field to
values that happened to occur near the end of the column data. If you
prefer the overpainting to be done in random order, use this command to
reorder the columns randomly. The random number is selected using the
system `<font color="#82140F"><code>rand</code></font>' call, with the seed being provided by the PID
(process ID) of the job.
<p>
The `<font color="#82140F"><code>ascending</code></font>' and `<font color="#82140F"><code>descending</code></font>' styles do what you'd expect.
