[gradsusr] Regards Recipe-020: Spaghetti and Box-and-whisker plots and sorting in Grads

[Jennifer Adams]

There's no way to do sorting in GrADS right now, but it's high on our  
list of features we'd like to implement. It will fall under the  
category of 'operations on define objects' and will require a fair bit  
of available memory, depending on how much data you want to sort.
