ILMathsort Method (InArrayString, OutArrayDouble, Int32, Boolean)

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

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

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

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

Parameters

A

Type: ILNumericsInArrayString
Input array: empty, scalar, vector or matrix

Indices

Type: ILNumericsOutArrayDouble
[Output] Returns permutation matrix also

dim

Type: SystemInt32
Dimension to sort along

descending

Type: SystemBoolean
Specifies the direction of sorting

Return Value

The data in A will be sorted using the bucket sort algorithm. Data along the dimension dim will get sorted independently from data in the next row/column.

This overload also returns an array 'Indices' which will hold the indices into the original elements after sorting. Elements of 'Indices' are of type double.
