Well, I just thought "ten lowest values", what a perfect
job for the histogram function. Divide your array into
values, then Histogram it, and starting looking in the
lowest bins. Keep going until you find 10 values! Find
the locations by using REVERSE_INDICES.... Oh, oh. Hang
on a second, I've got to go check with the guru...

Cheers,

P.S. Let's just say when you have finally learned how
to use a hammer, everything looks like a nail. :-)
