sort

sort(X, [ascending=true])

Please refer to sort. The only difference between sort and sort! is that the latter assigns the result to X and thus changing the value of X after the execution.

X is a vector.

ascending (optional) is a Boolean scalar indicating whether to sort X in ascending order or descending order. The default value is true (ascending order).

Return a sorted vector in ascending/descending order.

x=9 1 5;
x;
// output
[9,1,5]

y=sort(x);
y;
// output
[1,5,9]

sort(x, false);
// output
[9,5,1]

x=1 4 2 5 6 3$2:3;
x;

sort x;

The sort! function change the value of input after sorting.

x=9 1 5;
sort!(x);
x;
// output
[1 5 9];
