Sort(X, options)

Parameters

X

-

data sample

options

-

(optional) equation(s) of the form option=value where option is one of order or unique; specify options for the Sort function

Description

• 

The Sort command sorts the elements of X according to their numeric values.

• 

The first parameter X is the data set (typically an Array or a list).

Options

  

The options argument can contain one or more of the options shown below.

• 

order=ascending or descending -- Indicates whether the elements of X should be sorted in the ascending or descending order. The default value is order=ascending.

• 

unique=truefalse -- If this option is set to true, all multiple occurrences of elements from X will be removed. The default value is unique=false. Note that if this option is set to unique=true then all elements of X must be of type float.

Notes

• 

Although the Sort command accepts non-numeric data, maple must be able to compute floating-point values for all elements in X. If the unique option is set to unique=true all elements in X must be of type numeric.

• 

The Sort command creates a copy of the original data.
