recarray.sort()

recarray.sort(axis=-1, kind='quicksort', order=None)

Sort an array, in-place.

Parameters:

Parameters:	axis : int, optional Axis along which to sort. Default is -1, which means sort along the last axis. kind : {?quicksort?, ?mergesort?, ?heapsort?}, optional Sorting algorithm. Default is ?quicksort?. order : str or list of str, optional When `a` is an array with fields defined, this argument specifies which fields to compare first, second, etc. A single field can be specified as a string, and not all fields need be specified, but unspecified fields will still be used, in the order in which they come up in the dtype, to break ties.

axis : int, optional

Axis along which to sort. Default is -1, which means sort along the last axis.

kind : {?quicksort?, ?mergesort?, ?heapsort?}, optional

Sorting algorithm. Default is ?quicksort?.

order : str or list of str, optional

When a is an array with fields defined, this argument specifies which fields to compare first, second, etc. A single field can be specified as a string, and not all fields need be specified, but unspecified fields will still be used, in the order in which they come up in the dtype, to break ties.

Notes

See sort for notes on the different sorting algorithms.

Examples

>>> a = np.array([[1,4], [3,1]])
>>> a.sort(axis=1)
>>> a
array([[1, 4],
       [1, 3]])
>>> a.sort(axis=0)
>>> a
array([[1, 3],
       [1, 4]])

Use the order keyword to specify a field to use when sorting a structured array:

>>> a = np.array([('a', 2), ('c', 1)], dtype=[('x', 'S1'), ('y', int)])
>>> a.sort(order='y')
>>> a
array([('c', 1), ('a', 2)],
      dtype=[('x', '|S1'), ('y', '<i4')])
