-----------------------------------------
Summary: Sorting on pyarrow data structures ?
Key: ARROW-9367
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-9367
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Python
Reporter: Athanassios Hatzis
Hi, I consider sorting a fundamental operation for any in-memory data
structures, including those of PyArrow.
It would be nice if pa.array, pa.table, etc had sorting methods but I did not
find any. One has to pass sorting indices calculated from some other library,
such as numpy, to sort them. Sorting indices could have been calculated
directly from PyArrow. Am I missing something here ? That increases
significantly complexity for the developer.
Do you have any plans on implementing such a feature in the near future ?
