Given a list
u = {{2, 12, 7, 21}, {2, 48, 47, 97}, {4, 42, 41, 87},
{6, 8, 1, 15}, {6, 12, 9, 27}}
How can I sort it with respect to a given index position i=(1, ..., 4)?
For i=1 it is simply Sort, for the last one I could use
In[75]:=
Reverse /@ Sort[Reverse /@ u]
Out[75]=
{{6, 8, 1, 15}, {2, 12, 7, 21}, {6, 12, 9, 27},
{4, 42, 41, 87}, {2, 48, 47, 97}}
I don't want to go in the details of defining lexicographical order but
just obtain a sorting as described above.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Wolfgang
