Hi Travis,

Very Strange. I am on version 1.6.2 L

What could I be missing. I started using numpy quite recently. Is there a way to share the data with you?

Hey Alok,

This is worth taking a look. What version of NumPy are you using?

It is not related directly to the issue you referenced as that was an endian-ness issue and your data is native-order.

Your example seems to work for me (with a simulated case on 1.6.1)

Best,

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', '<f8'), ('opened', '<f8'), ('time', '<f8'), ('trdp1', '<f8'), ('trdp0', '<f8'), ('dt', '<f8'), ('value', '<f8')])

I checked and the endianness in dtype is correct.

When I sort the array, the output array of sort is same as original array without any change. I want to sort the allRics numpy array on ‘time’. I do the following.

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

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

array([[ 61184.4 ],

[ 61188.51 ],

[ 61188.979],

[ 61189.989],

[ 61191.66 ],

[ 61194.35 ],

[ 61198.79 ],

[ 61198.145],

[ 36126.217],

[ 36126.218],

[ 36126.219],

[ 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
