sort_coords(
patch: Patch ,
*coords ,
reverse = False,
)
Sort one or more coordinates.
Sorts the specified coordinates in the patch. An error will be raised if the coordinates have overlapping dimensions since it may not be possible to sort each. An error is also raised in any of the coordinates are multidimensional.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| *coords | Used to specify the coordinates to sort. |
| reverse | If True, sort in descending order, else ascending. |
