Function for SortBy












2














Let's say I have the following list



list = {{-1, 0, 0, 1}, {-1, 0, 1, 0}, {-1, 1, 0, 0}, {0, -1, 0, 1}, 

        {0, -1, 1, 0}, {0, 0, -1, 1}, {0, 0, 1, -1}, {0, 1, -1, 0}, 

        {0, 1, 0, -1}, {1, -1, 0, 0}, {1, 0, -1, 0}, {1, 0, 0, -1}}


What sort function (sfunc) used in SortBy [list, sfunc] can give me slist?



slist = {{0, 0, 1, -1}, {0, 0, -1, 1}, {0, -1, 0, 1}, {-1, 0, 0, 1}, 

         {0, 1, 0, -1}, {0, 1, -1, 0}, {0, -1, 1, 0}, {-1, 0, 1, 0},

         {1, 0, 0, -1}, {1, 0, -1, 0}, {1, -1, 0, 0}, {-1, 1, 0, 0}}


Few examples of sorted data 



slist1 =  {{0, 0, 1, -2}, {0, 0, -2, 1}, {0, -2, 0, 1}, {-2, 0, 0, 1}, {0, 1, 0, -2}, {0, 1, -2, 0}, {0, -2, 1, 0}, {-2, 0, 1, 0}, {1, 0, 0, -2}, {1, 0, -2, 0}, {1, -2, 0, 0}, {-2, 1, 0, 0}, {0, 1, -1, -1}, {0, -1, 1, -1}, {0, -1, -1, 1}, {-1, 0, 1, -1}, {-1, 0, -1, 1},{-1, -1, 0, 1}, {1, 0, -1, -1}, {1, -1, 0, -1}, {1, -1, -1, 0}, {-1, 1, 0, -1}, {-1, 1, -1, 0}, {-1, -1, 1, 0}}





slist2 = {{0, 0, 2, -2}, {0, 0, -2, 2}, {0, -2, 0, 2}, {-2, 0, 0, 2}, {0, 1, 1, -2}, {0, 1, -2, 1}, {0, -2, 1, 1}, {-2, 0, 1, 1}, {0, 2, 0, -2}, {0, 2, -2, 0}, {0, -2, 2, 0}, {-2, 0, 2, 0}, {1, 0, 1, -2}, {1, 0, -2, 1}, {1, -2, 0, 1}, {-2, 1, 0, 1}, {1, 1, 0, -2}, {1, 1, -2, 0}, {1, -2, 1, 0}, {-2, 1, 1, 0}, {2, 0, 0, -2}, {2, 0, -2, 0}, {2, -2, 0, 0}, {-2, 2, 0, 0}, {0, 2, -1, -1}, {0, -1, 2, -1}, {0, -1, -1, 2}, {-1, 0, 2, -1}, {-1, 0, -1, 2}, {-1, -1, 0, 2}, {1, 1, -1, -1}, {1, -1, 1, -1}, {1, -1, -1, 1}, {-1, 1, 1, -1}, {-1, 1, -1, 1}, {-1, -1, 1, 1}, {2, 0, -1, -1}, {2, -1, 0, -1}, {2, -1, -1, 0}, {-1, 2, 0, -1}, {-1, 2, -1, 0}, {-1, -1, 2, 0}}

For the data sets, you are sorting on




  1. the number of negative numbers first, then

  2. the subset of just the nonnegative elements (using canonical ordering for lists), then


  3. the subset of just the negative elements (using canonical ordering for lists)



     funkySort[list_]:= SortBy[list,{
    
                       Count[#, _?Negative] &,
    
                       Select[#, NonNegative] &,
