C
C         Check to see if the (IA,JA,A) arrays are in SLAP Column
C         format.  If it's not then transform from SLAP Triad.
C
      IF( JA(N+1).EQ.NELT+1 ) RETURN
C
C         Sort into ascending order by COLUMN (on the ja array).
C         This will line up the columns.
C
      CALL QS2I1R( JA, IA, A, NELT, 1 )
C
C         Loop over each column to see where the column indices change
C         in the column index array ja.  This marks the beginning of the
C         next column.
