Caption: Figure 2.

The absolute magnitudes of the multipolar components, ﹩| {a}_{lm}^{B,{\rm{in}}}| ﹩, arranged in descending order (dashed lines), together with the corresponding ﹩\delta { \mathcal C }﹩ values (solid lines) for the same cases as in Figure 1. The total number of multipolar modes, nl, is shown on the x-axis. The legend at the top indicates the radial offsets, in units of R, of the dipole (rD) and quadrupole (rQ) components of the input field solution. The inset table lists the nl values for ﹩\delta { \mathcal C }=1{0}^{-3}﹩ computed from the unordered and ordered ﹩| {a}_{lm}^{B,{\rm{in}}}| ﹩; only the ordered case (black dots) is shown.
