[Numpy-discussion] argsort

[Mads Ipsen]

Hi,

Thanks everybody for all the answers that make perfect sense when axis=0.

Now suppose I want to sort the array in such a way that each row is 
sorted individually. Then I suppose I should do this:

from numpy import *

v = array([[4,3],
            [1,12],
            [23,7],
            [11,6],
            [8,9]])
idx = argsort(v, axis=1)

idx is then

[[1 0]
  [0 1]
  [1 0]
  [1 0]
  [0 1]]

which makes sense, since these are the indices in an order that would 
sort each row. But when I try

a[idx, variuos_additional_arguments]

I just get strange results. Anybody that can point me towards the 
correct solution.

Best regards,

Mads
