cf.CellMethod.sorted

CellMethod.sorted(indices=None)[source]

Return a new cell method construct with sorted axes.

The axes are sorted by domain axis construct identifier or standard name, and any intervals are sorted accordingly.

New in version 1.7.0.

Parameters
indices: ordered sequence of int, optional

Sort the axes with the given indices. By default the axes are sorted by domain axis construct identifier or standard name.

Returns
CellMethod

A new cell method construct with sorted axes.

Examples:

>>> cm = cfdm.CellMethod(axes=['domainaxis1', 'domainaxis0'],
...                      method='mean',
...                      qualifiers={'interval': [1, 2]})
>>> cm
<CellMethod: domainaxis1: domainaxis0: mean (interval: 1 interval: 2)>
>>> cm.sorted()
<CellMethod: domainaxis0: domainaxis1: mean (interval: 2 interval: 1)>

>>> cm = cfdm.CellMethod(axes=['domainaxis0', 'area'],
...                      method='mean',
...                      qualifiers={'interval': [1, 2]})
>>> cm
<CellMethod: domainaxis0: area: mean (interval: 1 interval: 2)>
>>> cm.sorted()
<CellMethod: area: domainaxis0: mean (interval: 2 interval: 1)>
