[ferret_users] data from netcdf file automatically reversed

[Yue Chao <chaoyuejoy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all ferret_users,

I am new beginner in ferret and forgive me it's stupid question.
I try to read a variable from a netCDF file and make line plot. when I use ncdump to check the data, it's the right sequence. 
from the begining of time, the value of variable increases. but when the data is listed in ferret, the sequence has been automatically
reversed. I guess I have the wrong time axis?  But before this, when I try to do exactly the same thing using the data produced by a 
very much similar way, nothing strange happened.

actually the time axis is plainly sequential numbers...
yes? show axis time_counter
 name       axis              # pts   start                end
 TIME_COUNTER                 389 r   1                    389

Thank you if you have any idea, I just want to understand what's going on. 

best,

Chao
