PetscErrorCode PetscSortSplit(PetscInt ncut, PetscInt n, PetscScalar a[], PetscInt idx[])
```
Not Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***ncut  -*** splitig index
- ***n     -*** number of values to sort



## Input/Output Parameters

- ***a     -*** array of values, on output the values are permuted such that its elements satisfy:
abs(a[i]) >= abs(a[ncut-1]) for i < ncut and
abs(a[i]) <= abs(a[ncut-1]) for i >= ncut
- ***idx   -*** index for array a, on output permuted accordingly
