Method Detail

sortWithMetaData

public static void sortWithMetaData(java.util.Vector sort,
                                    java.util.Vector metaData)

Sorts the Vector sort in decreasing order and also updates the Vector metaData. Each element in Vector sort is considered to have a meta-data element in Vector metaData at the same position. For example, metaData.elementAt[i] is considered to be a String describing the value sort.elementAt[i]. After the sort, the Vector sort is sorted and the Vector metaData is adapted according to the new positions of the values in sort.

Parameters:

sort - a Vector containing Doubles that represent a distance vector

metaData - a Vector containing Strings that represent the meta-data to be adapted
