numpy.ma.sort(a, axis=-1, kind='quicksort', order=None, endwith=True, fill_value=None)
[source]
Sort the array, in-place
Parameters: |
a : array_like Array to be sorted. axis : int, optional Axis along which to sort. If None, the array is flattened before sorting. The default is -1, which sorts along the last axis. kind : {‘quicksort’, ‘mergesort’, ‘heapsort’}, optional Sorting algorithm. Default is ‘quicksort’. order : list, optional When endwith : {True, False}, optional Whether missing values (if any) should be forced in the upper indices (at the end of the array) (True) or lower indices (at the beginning). When the array contains unmasked values of the largest (or smallest if False) representable value of the datatype the ordering of these values and the masked values is undefined. To enforce the masked values are at the end (beginning) in this case one must sort the mask. fill_value : {var}, optional Value used internally for the masked values. If |

Returns: |
sorted_array : ndarray Array of the same type and shape as |

>>> a = ma.array([1, 2, 5, 4, 3],mask=[0, 1, 0, 1, 0]) >>> # Default >>> a.sort() >>> print(a) [1 3 5 -- --]
>>> a = ma.array([1, 2, 5, 4, 3],mask=[0, 1, 0, 1, 0]) >>> # Put missing values in the front >>> a.sort(endwith=False) >>> print(a) [-- -- 1 3 5]
>>> a = ma.array([1, 2, 5, 4, 3],mask=[0, 1, 0, 1, 0]) >>> # fill_value takes over endwith >>> a.sort(endwith=False, fill_value=3) >>> print(a) [1 -- -- 3 5]
