i don't think so. The obscure syntax is just a way you can solve the problem with the current state of NumPy. Of course, a more clearer syntax would be better, but for this, something in NumPy should be changed. This other syntax is longer but clearer: ind = indices(A.shape) ind[ax] = A.argsort(axis=ax) A[ind] Which brings me to the question: Would it be reasonable if argsort returned the complete tuple of indices, so that A[A.argsort(ax)] would work ? pau ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
