Here is one solution, assuming that all elements in your list distances are non-negative: In[1]:= distances={0,Sqrt[2],Sqrt[2],0,0,Sqrt[2],2,Sqrt[2]}; In[2]:= Table[Position[distances,x,1],{x, Union[distances]}] // Flatten Out[2]= {1,4,5,7,2,3,6,8} Regards, Fred Simons Eindhoven University of Technology Op 28-4-2013 6:57, S schreef: > Hello > > I need to sort a list in increasing magnitude. If two elements in the list are the same, the element which appears EARLIER in the list should appear first.
