SORT

This is part of the function module

This function can be used to sort colvars according to their magnitudes.

Description of components

This function sorts its arguments according to their magnitudes. The lowest argument will be labelled label.1, the second lowest will be labelled label.2 and so on.

Examples

The following input tells plumed to print the distance of the closest and of the farthest atoms to atom 1, chosen among atoms from 2 to 5

d12: DISTANCE 
ATOMS
the pair of atom that we are calculating the distance between. 
=1,2 The DISTANCE action with label d12 calculates a single scalar value
d13: DISTANCE 
ATOMS
the pair of atom that we are calculating the distance between. 
=1,3 The DISTANCE action with label d13 calculates a single scalar value
d14: DISTANCE 
ATOMS
the pair of atom that we are calculating the distance between. 
=1,4 The DISTANCE action with label d14 calculates a single scalar value
d15: DISTANCE 
ATOMS
the pair of atom that we are calculating the distance between. 
=1,5 The DISTANCE action with label d15 calculates a single scalar value
