Does anyone know if it's possible to do an Aggregation on an inner

aggregation would be fine).  We are using NCML to aggregate a lot of 
model run files (every 6 hours for ~10 years), and most often using 
the aggregated dataset to extract full length time series.  This works 
fine with time as the outer dimension, but the disk is spending nearly 
all its time seeking, and we know from tests using hard-coded file 
access that this runs a lot faster if we permute the files so that 
time is the inner dimension.
I've tried using 'union' or 'joinexisting' ncml to do it - but as 
you'd expect from the documentation it doesn't work.  Is there a way 
to do this?
cheers,
Martin

Hi Martin:
You currently cannot do an aggregation on an inner dimension.
Can you give me a use case and perhaps a sample file? Are you extracting 
a time series at a single point ??
