Numpy argsort - what is it doing?

Question

Why is numpy giving this result:

x = numpy.array([1.48,1.41,0.0,0.1])
print x.argsort()

>[2 3 1 0]

when I\'d expect it to do this:

Answer 1

It returns indices according to the given array indices,[1.48,1.41,0.0,0.1],that means: 0.0 is the first element, in index [2]. 0.1 is the second element, in index[3]. 1.41 is the third element, in index [1]. 1.48 is the fourth element, in index[0]. Output:

[2,3,1,0]
