[Paraview-developers] MPI Parallel Sorting

[Scott, W Alan]

Greenfield has a really good point - doesn't the data for the whole spreadsheet have to be passed to the client for display?  Thus, couldn't you just sort on the client?

Folks,

I am looking at the long standing feature request to add support for
sorting in the spreadsheet view. Our use case is that we have a large
array is distributed among N processes.
We want to end up with that array sorted but still distributed among
all processes. Most implementations I am looking at end up creating
one large sorted array on one of nodes. Does anyone know any approach
that avoids this generation of a large array on the root node?
