Suppose I am given an mXn matrix A, and I have a permutation of {1,…,m}, for example by p = sortperm(A[:,1]); I now wish to rearrange the wors of A based on p. How do I do that ? The permute!() function only applies to vectors, as shown here . I can always loop over the columns, as in for j in 1:…

[image] iamsuddhasattwa: But there is no way anyone can possibly understand from the documentation alone that lt=(x,y)->isless(x[2],y[2])) is supposed to mean ``by second column". You can also write sortslices(A, dims=1, by=row->row[2]), although I agree it’s not super-obvious what’s going to…
