ILMathsort Method (InArrayString, Int32, Boolean)

public static RetArray<string> sort(
	InArray<string> A,
	int dim,
	bool descending
)

Public Shared Function sort ( 
	A As InArray(Of String),
	dim As Integer,
	descending As Boolean
) As RetArray(Of String)

Dim A As InArray(Of String)
Dim dim As Integer
Dim descending As Boolean
Dim returnValue As RetArray(Of String)

returnValue = ILMath.sort(A, dim, descending)

Parameters

A

Type: ILNumericsInArrayString
Input array. A may be an empty, scalar, vector or matrix.

dim

Type: SystemInt32
Dimension to sort along

descending

Type: SystemBoolean
Specifies the direction of sorting: true: descending sort direction; false: ascending

Return Value

The strings in A will be sorted lexicographically in ascending order using the bucket sort algorithm. Data along the first non singleton dimension will get sorted independently from data in the other rows/columns.

The sorting order of strings is determined char-wise by comparing the ASCII codes of the characters.
