Thanks very much for responses. The 2 suggestions each do a part of what I want. Jean's proposal permutes nonzero elements within each row but shifts the location of the nonzero element around in the j slot of each i row. And Douglas's idea keeps the second part but permutes the entire x slot values. I'll try to see how I can combine these 2 ideas but it's not immediately obvious to me. =}
