a=[10 30 80 70 40 90 60 20 80]
[aa,bb]=sort(a)
cc=[1:1:9]
dd=[cc-bb]

asking for dd gives me the array:
0 -6 1 -1 -2 2 4 -1 3
as opposed to your example.

my apologies: The first string should read

a=[10 30 80 70 40 90 60 20 50]

not the last number has changed from 80 to 50 such that i have the string 10 thru 90.

Part of my answer to another question of yours with title "Reposted..."

Hi Martin,

You should use the following two lines:

[kk,mm] = sort(bb);
ff = dd(mm);

ff is what you are looking for.

Best.

two alternatives:

dd(cc-dd)=dd;
dd(bb) = dd;
