cupynumeric.argsort#

cupynumeric.argsort( a: ndarray, axis: int | None = -1, kind: SortType = 'quicksort', order: str | list[str] | None = None, ) → ndarray#

Returns the indices that would sort an array.

Parameters:

a (array_like) – Input array.
axis (int or None, optional) – Axis to sort. By default, the index -1 (the last axis) is used. If None, the flattened array is used.
kind ({'quicksort', 'mergesort', 'heapsort', 'stable'}, optional) – Default is ‘quicksort’. The underlying sort algorithm might vary. The code basically supports ‘stable’ or not ‘stable’.
order (str or list[str], optional) – Currently not supported

Returns:

index_array – Array of indices that sort a along the specified axis. It has the same shape as a.shape or is flattened in case of axis is None.

Return type:

ndarray[int]
