Ouch!
That would've got me bad.
>>>a = numpy.array([[1,2,60], [2,2,800], [2,1,7],[1,1,50]])
>>> a
array([[ 1, 2, 60],
[ 2, 2, 800],
[ 2, 1, 7],
[ 1, 1, 50]])
>>> a[numpy.lexsort( (a[:,1],a[:,0]) ),:]
array([[ 1, 1, 50],
[ 1, 2, 60],
[ 2, 1, 7],
[ 2, 2, 800]])
This is correct
versus
>>> a[numpy.lexsort(a.T),:]
array([[ 2, 1, 7],
[ 1, 1, 50],
[ 1, 2, 60],
[ 2, 2, 800]])
which isn't.
Thanks very much Eleanor
