Ordering

Usage
Notes
Further Examples

Here is a list.

In[1]:=  

This is the permutation that will put dd into sorted order.

In[2]:=  

Out[2]=

Here is how to verify this.

In[3]:=  

Out[3]=

You may only want to find the position of the maximum element.

In[4]:=  

Out[4]=

Here is another way.

In[5]:=  

Out[5]=

This gives the positions of the two largest elements in dd.

In[6]:=  

Out[6]=

Here are the two largest elements.

In[7]:=  

Out[7]=

This gives the ordering from largest to smallest.

In[8]:=  

Out[8]=

This sorts the elements from largest to smallest.

In[9]:=  

Out[9]=

Lists that are permutations of the numbers 1, 2, 3,  , n can be composed using Part or [[]]. Here, for example, xx: 3  5 and yy: 5  1, so yy xx: 3  1.

In[10]:=  

In[11]:=  

In[12]:=  

Out[12]=

Ordering gives the inverse of a permutation.

In[13]:=  

Out[13]=

In[14]:=  

Out[14]=

In[15]:=  

Out[15]=

In[16]:=
