Returns the indices that would sort an array.
Perform an indirect sort along the given axis using the algorithm specified by the kind keyword. It returns an array of indices of the same shape as a that index data along the given axis in sorted order.
Array to sort.
Axis along which to sort. The default is -1 (the last axis). If None, the flattened array is used.
Sorting algorithm. The default is ‘quicksort’. Note that both ‘stable’ and ‘mergesort’ use timsort under the covers and, in general, the actual implementation will vary with data type. The ‘mergesort’ option is retained for backwards compatibility.
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.
Sort stability. If True
, the returned array will maintain the relative order of a
values which compare as equal. If False
or None
, this is not guaranteed. Internally, this option selects kind='stable'
. Default: None
.
New in version 2.0.0.
Array of indices that sort a along the specified axis. If a is one-dimensional, a[index_array]
yields a sorted a. More generally, np.take_along_axis(a, index_array, axis=axis)
always yields the sorted a, irrespective of dimensionality.
Notes
See sort
for notes on the different sorting algorithms.
As of NumPy 1.4.0 argsort
works with real/complex arrays containing nan values. The enhanced sort order is documented in sort
.
Examples
One dimensional array:
>>> import numpy as np >>> x = np.array([3, 1, 2]) >>> np.argsort(x) array([1, 2, 0])
Two-dimensional array:
>>> x = np.array([[0, 3], [2, 2]]) >>> x array([[0, 3], [2, 2]])
>>> ind = np.argsort(x, axis=0) # sorts along first axis (down) >>> ind array([[0, 1], [1, 0]]) >>> np.take_along_axis(x, ind, axis=0) # same as np.sort(x, axis=0) array([[0, 2], [2, 3]])
>>> ind = np.argsort(x, axis=1) # sorts along last axis (across) >>> ind array([[0, 1], [0, 1]]) >>> np.take_along_axis(x, ind, axis=1) # same as np.sort(x, axis=1) array([[0, 3], [2, 2]])
Indices of the sorted elements of a N-dimensional array:
>>> ind = np.unravel_index(np.argsort(x, axis=None), x.shape) >>> ind (array([0, 1, 1, 0]), array([0, 0, 1, 1])) >>> x[ind] # same as np.sort(x, axis=None) array([0, 2, 2, 3])
Sorting with keys:
>>> x = np.array([(1, 0), (0, 1)], dtype=[('x', '<i4'), ('y', '<i4')]) >>> x array([(1, 0), (0, 1)], dtype=[('x', '<i4'), ('y', '<i4')])
>>> np.argsort(x, order=('x','y')) array([1, 0])
>>> np.argsort(x, order=('y','x')) array([0, 1])
