Hi,
I have a sort of dots circle in a 3d plane and I want all the indices of the dots to be arranged clockwise. the indices of the dots are attached. Do you know how to do that?

In three dimensions the notion of clockwise versus counterclockwise loses its meaning. The notion of clockwise rotation is strictly a two-dimensional concept. It has the same indeterminacy as trying to distinguish between the two sides of an arbitrary three-dimensional plane. Which side is the "plus" side and which is the "minus" side?

Good point, Roger. Mathematically absolutely correct. From an engineering perspective I would argue that there is a somewhat "obvious" (and therefore in that same sense mathematically not necessarily definable), acceptable solution to the problem.

From the x and y data (from ind.mat) compute the polar angles of the dots using atan2. Add the polar angles as the fourth row to the matrix. Then use the sort command to sort the dots in descending order (in terms of angles).
