[ferret_users] Default order of dimensions



Does ferret assume by default the order of dimensions of input netCDF files as lon, lat, time without height?

I have a file with array dimensions defined as lat, lon, and time (see the attached ncdump file) and the dimensions loaded into ferret are as follows:

sho data
     currently SET data sets:
    1> ./SEAFLUXNN_ATMOS_CDR_V01R00_D19880101.nc  (default)
 name     title                                             I         J         K         L
 AIR_TEMPERATURE
          NOAA CDR of near-surface air temp  1:720     1:1440    ...       1:8
 SPECIFIC_HUMIDITY
          NOAA FCDR of near-surface speci  1:720     1:1440    ...       1:8
 WIND_SPEED
          NOAA FCDR of near-surface wind   1:720     1:1440    ...       1:8
 LON      Longitude                                  1:1440    ...       ...       ...
 LAT      Latitude                                     1:720     ...       ...       ...
 LAND_MASK
          Land mask                                   1:720     1:1440    ...       ...
 ICE_MASK Ice mask                             1:720     1:1440    ...       ...
 COAST_MASK
          Coastal mask                               1:720     1:1440    ...       ...


Do I need to define those array dimension orders as lon, lat, and time in order to load and display in ferret properly without redefining a new grid?

Thanks,
