The indexes array is the same size as the trip array, that makes the
code much less prone to errors.

To have the same number of trip points, the index of the disabled trip
must be inserted also in the array. We don't care about its position in
the indexes array because it is discarded in the handle_trip_point()
function anyway. For this reason, the random temperature of the disabled
trip point and the resulting position in the sorting is harmless.

It is made on purpose to ignore the return value, so we have a simpler code.
