The function may be called by the names: f11znc, nag_sparse_complex_gen_sort or nag_sparse_nherm_sort.
3Description
f11znc takes a coordinate storage (CS) representation (see Section 2.1.1 in the F11 Chapter Introduction) of a sparse complex non-Hermitian matrix , and reorders the nonzero elements by increasing row index and increasing column index within each row. Entries with duplicate row and column indices may be removed. Alternatively, duplicate entries may be summed, which facilitates spare matrix addition (see Section 9). Any entries with zero values may optionally be removed.
f11znc also returns a pointer array istr to the starting address of each row in . This can be used to construct a compressed column storage (CCS) representation of the matrix (see Section 9).

9Further Comments
The time taken for a call to f11znc is the sum of two contributions, where one is proportional to nnz and the other is proportional to n.
Note that the resulting matrix may have either rows or columns with no entries. If row has no entries then .
To transpose a matrix in CS format simply interchange irow and icol. If you need the elements to be sorted, then pass these interchanged arrays to f11znc.
Two sparse matrices can be added by concatenating the three pairs of CS format arrays, representing the two matrices, and passing these new arrays to f11znc, specifying that duplicates should be summed.
It is also possible to use this function to convert between coordinate storage (CS) and compressed column storage (CCS) formats. To achieve this the CS format array holding the row indices must be passed as icol and the array holding the column indices must be passed as irow in a call to f11znc. On exit from f11znc, the CCS representation of the matrix is given by the output arrays a, icol, and istr, where icol holds irowix and istr holds icolzp as described in Section 2.1.3 in the F11 Chapter Introduction.
