Re: Sorting array

Hi,
I'm working with numerical array and I'm a little lost on a particular
sorting of one of them. In particular I have an array like

a = array([[8,4,1],[2,0,9]])

and I need to sort it using only the first column as reference but
keeping the lines together so to obtain

array([[2, 0, 9],
[8, 4, 1]])

In [1]: from numpy import *

In [2]: a = array([[8,4,1],[2,0,9]])

In [3]: i = argsort(a[:,0])

In [4]: a[i]
Out[4]:
array([[2, 0, 9],
[8, 4, 1]])


numpy questions are best asked on the numpy-discussion mailing list since
everyone there automatically knows that you are talking about numpy arrays and
not just misnaming lists. ;-)
