OK, that's bizarre, because there's no need to do ANY sorting to get
your desired answer. Just find the maximum value in your vector,
allocate a new one that long, and set each element equal to its index.
Much more efficient than sorting. You'll also need the minimum value and
an offset if your minimum value isn't necessarily 1.

Of course, if this is a homework problem, you'll have to do it the way
you describe. Have a go first and you'll get lots of help here, ask
others to do the work for you and you generally won't.

Catherine.
