NumPy: Sort the student id with increasing height of the students from given students id and height

NumPy Sorting and Searching: Exercise-4 with Solution

Write a NumPy program to sort the student id with increasing height of the students from given students id and height. Print the integer indices that describes the sort order by multiple columns and the sorted data.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import numpy as np
student_id = np.array([1023, 5202, 6230, 1671, 1682, 5241, 4532])
student_height = np.array([40., 42., 45., 41., 38., 40., 42.0])
#Sort by studen_id then by student_height
indices = np.lexsort((student_id, student_height))
print("Sorted indices:")
print(indices)
print("Sorted data:")
for n in indices:
  print(student_id[n], student_height[n])

Sample Output:

Sorted indices:
[4 0 5 3 6 1 2]
Sorted data:
1682 38.0
1023 40.0
5241 40.0
1671 41.0
4532 42.0
5202 42.0
6230 45.0

Previous: Write a NumPy program to create a structured array from given student name, height, class and their data types. Now sort by class, then height if class are equal.
Next: Write a NumPy program to get the indices of the sorted elements of a given array.
