Good morning Hannes, thanks a lot for replying to help. Actually, more than a problem in the order in the data, what actually happens is that my GISS file don't have a date, so in a way it seems that the order cannot be establishd; what I did was adding the time variable for each file, so that I now have files with the time set, but when i merge them with CDO the output that I obtain has no date anymore. I'd be happy if u could send me your script so that I can try to use them following your suggestion. I let you know how that goes, Thanks a lot All best Simone On Wednesday 30 May 2007 09:01, Hannes Isaak Reuter wrote: > Dear Simone, > > > if I understand you correctly you want to use CDO > to merge files with different variables order. > I had the same problem as i was merging data > coming from ECMWF weather forecasts, where the > data are not always in the same order..
