- Sort[List]
- Sorts a list of numbers, text objects, or points.
- Note: Lists of points are sorted by x-coordinates.
- Example:
Sort[{3, 2, 1}]
gives you the list {1, 2, 3}.Sort[{"pears", "apples", "figs"}]
gives you the list elements in alphabetical order.Sort[{(3, 2), (2, 5), (4, 1)}]
gives you {(2, 5), (3, 2), (4, 1)}.
- Sort[ <Values>, <Keys> ]
- Sorts the first list Values according to the corresponding second list Keys.
- Example: If you want to sort a list of polynomials
list1 = {x^3, x^2, x^6}
according to degree, create the dependent list of degreeslist2 = Zip[Degree[a], a, list1]
. After that,Sort[list1, list2]
yields the requested list3 = {x^2, x^3, x^6}
- Example: If you want to draw the polygon having as vertices the complex roots of x^{10}-1, sorted by their arguments, create
list1 = {ComplexRoot[x^10-1]}
, then use the commandPolygon[Sort[list1, arg(list1)]]
Note: There is a workaround to sort lists of arbitrary objects which is explained in the Tutorial:Advanced List Sorting.
