Re: [Numpy-discussion] numpy sort is not working

11 Sep 2012

      The sorted array you see is the same as original array. I have replied to code to generate the below data. (done in a loop. Each loop generates sorted numpy arrayas it reads from file) and combines all arrays into a single numpy array. I need to sort the final array into a single sorted array. It could be because of array size. It maybe silently failing somewhere? I  don’t see any error, but output is not sorted. Array sorting works fine if the array is not structured.

I am wondering of this has to do with the size of the array.

It looks like the array is sorted --- but in chunks.

	Hi everyone,

	I have a numpy array of dimensions 

	>>> allRics.shape 
	(583760, 1) 

	To sort the array, I set the dtype of the array as follows:

	allRics.dtype = [('idx', np.float), ('opened', np.float), ('time', np.float),('trdp1',np.float),('trdp0',np.float),('dt',np.float),('value',np.float)] 

	>>> allRics.dtype

	dtype([('idx', '>> x=np.sort(allRics,order='time')

	>>> x[17330:17350]['time']

	array([[ 61184.4  ],

	       [ 61188.51 ],

	       [ 61188.979],

	       [ 61188.979],

	       [ 61189.989],

	       [ 61191.66 ],

	       [ 61194.35 ],

	       [ 61194.35 ],

	       [ 61198.79 ],

	       [ 61198.145],

	       [ 36126.217],

	       [ 36126.217],

	       [ 36126.218],

	       [ 36126.218],

	       [ 36126.219],

	       [ 36126.271],

	       [ 36126.271],

	       [ 36126.271],

	       [ 36126.293],

	       [ 36126.293]])

	Time column doesn’t change its order. Could someone please advise what is missing here? Is this related to the bug
