The plasma particles were being sorted twice in the same step, leading to an unnecessary slow down of the wakefield calculation. This was because the sorting was performed within different functions which are called in the same iteration. Now, the sorting is performed only once, and the sorted indices given to the corresponding functions. This results in a speedup of up to ~10% to ~20%.
