@waynexia , good question. In general, yes: arrow arrays are immutable and thus we can't sort them in place. Therefore, we use two steps: 1. get the index array that would sort the array 2. `take` items from the array according to said indexes The second point is where we "re-arrange" the array. Sorry for the delay and keep the questions coming if you have them. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
