Description:
Get the original positions of the sorted members of a sequence.
Syntax:
A.psort (x)
A.psort(xi:di,...)
Note:
The function sorts members of sequence A according to the value of expression x and returns their ordinal numbers before they are sorted.
Parameter:
|
A |
A sequence |
|
x |
The sorting expression |
|
xi |
If there are multiple sorting expressions, they can be written as xi:di,.., a compound expression consisting of multiple expressions |
|
di |
Sorting order: >0 represents ascending order, which is the default, and <0 descending order |
Option:
|
@m |
Perform parallel algorithm to enhance performance of handling data-intensive or computation-intensive tasks |
|
@z |
Sort a sequence in descending order and return the position of a member in the original sequence |
|
@0 |
Put records with null values at the end |
Return value:
Sequence
Example:
|
|
A |
|
|
1 |
[a,c,e,g,f,d,b] |
|
|
2 |
=A1.psort(~) |
[1,7,2,6,3,5,4]. |
|
3 |
=demo.query("select * from EMPLOYEE") |
|
|
4 |
=A3.psort(DEPT:1,BIRTHDAY:-1) |
A3 is sorted in ascending order by DEPT first, and then in descending order by BIRTHDAY. |
|
5 |
=A3.psort@m(DEPT,BIRTHDAY) |
Use @m option to increase performance of big data handling. |
|
6 |
=A1.psort@z(~) |
[4,5,3,6,2,7,1]. |
|
7 |
[a,c,e,,f,d,b] |
|
|
8 |
=A7.psort(~) |
[4,1,7,2,6,3,5]. |
|
9 |
=A7.psort@0(~) |
[1,7,2,6,3,5,4]. |
