Internally, an InfinitySparseMatrix (Blocked or non) comprises of
vectors of values, row positions, and column positions. The ordering of
these vectors is not enforced. This function sorts the internal structure,
leaving the external structure unchanged (e.g. as.matrix(ism) and
as.matrix(sort(ism)) will look identical despite sorting.)
Usage
# S3 method for InfinitySparseMatrix
sort(x, decreasing = FALSE, ..., byCol = FALSE)
# S3 method for BlockedInfinitySparseMatrix
sort(x, decreasing = FALSE, ..., byCol = FALSE)
Arguments
- x
An InfinitySparseMatrix or
BlockedInfinitySparseMatrix.
- decreasing
Logical. Should the sort be increasing or decreasing?
Default FALSE.
- ...
Additional arguments ignored.
- byCol
Logical. Defaults to FALSE, so the returned ISM is
row-dominant. TRUE returns a column-dominant ISM.
Value
An object of the same class as x which is sorted according to
byCol.
Details
By default, the InfinitySparseMatrix is row-dominant, meaning the row
positions are sorted first, then column positions are sorted within each
row. Use argument byCol to change this.
