Usage

## S4 method for signature 'SpatRaster'
sort(x, decreasing=FALSE, order=FALSE, filename="", ...)

## S4 method for signature 'SpatVector'
sort(x, v, decreasing=FALSE)

Arguments

x

SpatRaster

decreasing

logical. If TRUE, sorting is in decreasing order

order

logical. If TRUE the sorting order is returned instead of the sorted values

filename

character. Output filename

...

additional arguments for writing files as in writeRaster

v

Examples

f <- system.file("ex/elev.tif", package="terra")
r <- rast(f)
r <- c(r, r/2, r*2)
sort(r)

ord <- sort(r, order=TRUE)
# these two are the same 
ord[[1]]
which.min(r)
