cupy.argsort — CuPy 13.4.1 documentation (original) (raw)

cupy.argsort(a, axis=-1, kind=None)[source]#

Returns the indices that would sort an array with a stable sorting.

Parameters:

• a (cupy.ndarray) – Array to sort.
• axis (int or None) – Axis along which to sort. Default is -1, which means sort along the last axis. If None is supplied, the array is flattened before sorting.
• kind – Default is None, which is equivalent to ‘stable’. Unlike in NumPy any other options are not accepted here.

Returns:

Array of indices that sort a.

Return type:

cupy.ndarray

Note

For its implementation reason, cupy.argsort does not supportkind and order parameters.
