he datatype, the ordering of these values and the masked values is undefined. fill_value : scalar or None, optional Value used internally for the masked values. If ``fill_value`` is not None, it supersedes ``endwith``. Returns ------- index_array : ndarray, int Array of indices that sort `a` along the specified axis. In other words, ``a[index_array]`` yields a sorted `a`. See Also -------- ma.MaskedArray.sort : Describes sorting algorithms used. lexsort : Indirect stable sort with multiple keys. numpy.ndarray.sort : Inplace sort. Notes ----- See `sort` for notes on the different sorting algorithms. Examples -------- >>> a = np.ma.array([3,2,1], mask=[False, False, True]) >>> a masked_array(data=[3, 2, --], mask=[False, False, True], fill_value=999999) >>> a.argsort() array([1, 0, 2]) NŠ
