Sorting Multiple Lists

You can specify more than one list when using

SortA(

and

SortD(

. In this case, the first list specified is the independent

one; any following lists are dependent.
The calculator sorts the independent list first, and then sorts

all the dependent lists by placing their elements in the same

order as their corresponding elements in the independent list.

This allows you to keep sets of related data in the same order

when you sort lists.

SortA(

indpntlist,dependlist1,dependlist2…

)

SortD(

indpntlist,dependlist1,dependlist2…

)

Define

L

={3,4,7,9}

(independent),

L

3

={1,2,3,4}

(dependent), and

L

4

={14,13,12,11}

(dependent), and sort all three in descending

order.
