mxnet.ndarray.sort¶

mxnet.ndarray.sort(data=None, axis=_Null, is_ascend=_Null, out=None, name=None, **kwargs)¶

Returns a sorted copy of an input array along the given axis.

Examples:

x = [[ 1, 4],
     [ 3, 1]]

// sorts along the last axis
sort(x) = [[ 1.,  4.],
           [ 1.,  3.]]

// flattens and then sorts
sort(x) = [ 1.,  1.,  3.,  4.]

// sorts along the first axis
sort(x, axis=0) = [[ 1.,  1.],
                   [ 3.,  4.]]

// in a descend order
sort(x, is_ascend=0) = [[ 4.,  1.],
                        [ 3.,  1.]]

Defined in src/operator/tensor/ordering_op.cc:L127

Parameters

data (NDArray) – The input array
axis (int or None, optional, default='-1') – Axis along which to choose sort the input tensor. If not given, the flattened array is used. Default is -1.
is_ascend (boolean, optional, default=1) – Whether to sort in ascending or descending order.
out (NDArray, optional) – The output NDArray to hold the result.

Returns

out – The output of this function.

Return type

NDArray or list of NDArrays
