Updates GOLD NMAX to use sortby to guarantee the index is monotonic increasing. Scans from two separate instruments are combined into one xarray object. The long term goal is to separate these into separate instruments, but this is waiting on constellation updates in pysat.
Note: This does not guarantee that the index will be unique. Between 2018 day 278 and 2023 day 64, approximately 0.3% of files have a non-unique index. 51% of the files have a non-monotonic index.
