Description

This block outputs a sorted version of its input matrix, the size of output is the same as input's. The order of the sorted results can be selected to be "Ascending" or "Descending". When input signal is complex, sorting can be specified to sort by "Magnitude", "Real part" or "Complex part". This block can output the indices of the sorted results, which indicate the mapping between the sorted results and original input matrix, the indices are based on 0.

algo

Sorting method

Define the algorithm for sorting the elements of the input matrix. At present, Quick-sort is the only method available.

String

externalActivation

External activation

Specifies whether the block receives an external activation or inherits its activation through its regular input ports. When External Activation is selected, an additional activation port is added to the block. By default, external activation is not selected.
