Summary

Sort a peaks workspace by a column of the workspace

Properties

Name Direction Type Default Description
InputWorkspace Input IPeaksWorkspace Mandatory An input workspace.
OutputWorkspace Output IPeaksWorkspace Mandatory An output workspace.
ColumnNameToSortBy Input string Mandatory Column to sort by
SortAscending Input boolean True Sort the OutputWorkspace by the target column in a Ascending fashion.

Description

Sort a peaks workspace by a single column. Sorting of that PeaksWorkspace by that column can either happen in an ascending or descending fashion. The algorithm can either be used to generate a new OutputWorkspace, which is sorted as requested, or to perform an in-place sort of the InputWorkspace.

Usage

Example - sort a peaks workspace by column name:

peaks_ws = LoadIsawPeaks(Filename='TOPAZ_1204.peaks')

#sort the table by column k
peaks_ws = SortPeaksWorkspace(peaks_ws, ColumnNameToSortBy='k')
print("Column k in ascending order: " + str(peaks_ws.column('k')))

#the algorithm can also sort in descending order
peaks_ws = SortPeaksWorkspace(peaks_ws, ColumnNameToSortBy='k', SortAscending=False)
print("Column k in descending order: " + str(peaks_ws.column('k')))

Output:

Column k in ascending order: [-3.0, -2.0, -2.0, -2.0, -2.0, -2.0, -2.0, -1.0, -1.0, -1.0, -1.0, -1.0, -1.0, -1.0, -1.0, -0.0, -0.0, -0.0, 0.0, -0.0, -0.0, 0.0, -0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 5.0, 5.0]
Column k in descending order: [5.0, 5.0, 4.0, 2.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, -0.0, -0.0, -0.0, 0.0, -0.0, -0.0, 0.0, -0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, -1.0, -1.0, -1.0, -1.0, -1.0, -1.0, -1.0, -2.0, -2.0, -2.0, -2.0, -2.0, -2.0, -3.0]
