Array Sorting

There are multiple ways in Numpy to sort an array, based on the requirement
using Python. Let’s try to understand them with the help of di�erent methods. In
this article, we will see How to sort a Numpy Array in Python.

Sort a Numpy Array using the sort()


Here we sort the given array based on the axis using the sort() method i.e. create
a sorted copy of the given numpy array.

Python3

import numpy as np

# sort along the first axis


a = np.array([[12, 15], [10, 1]])
arr1 = np.sort(a, axis = 0)
print ("Along first axis : \n", arr1)

# sort along the last axis


a = np.array([[10, 15], [12, 1]])
arr2 = np.sort(a, axis = -1)
print ("\nAlong first axis : \n", arr2)

a = np.array([[12, 15], [10, 1]])


arr1 = np.sort(a, axis = None)
print ("\nAlong none axis : \n", arr1)

Output:

Along first axis :


[[10 1]
[12 15]]

Along first axis :


[[10 15]
[ 1 12]]

Along none axis :


[ 1 10 12 15]

We can choose which type of sorting we want perform using the kind parameter
inside the sort function. We can either choose between quicksort, mergesort and
heapsort.

Python3

arr = np.array([[7,3,8,6,4], [7,2,9,8,6],[5,4,2,3,1]])


print(np.sort(arr , axis = 0, kind = 'mergesort'))
print()
print(np.sort(arr , axis = 1, kind = 'quicksort'))
print()
print(np.sort(arr , kind = 'heapsort'))

Output:

[[5 2 2 3 1]
[7 3 8 6 4]
[7 4 9 8 6]]

[[3 4 6 7 8]
[2 6 7 8 9]
[1 2 3 4 5]]

[[3 4 6 7 8]
[2 6 7 8 9]
[1 2 3 4 5]]
