Find positions of elements in sorted array
Suppose I have some numpy array (all elements are unique) that I want to sort in descending order. I need to find out which positions elements of initial array will take in sorted array.
Example.
In1: [1, 2, 3] # Input
Out1: [2, 1, 0] # Expected output
In2: [1, -2, 2] # Input
Out2: [1, 2, 0] # Expected output
I tried this one:
def find_positions(A):
A = np.array(A)
A_sorted = np.sort(A)[::-1]
return np.argwhere(A[:, None] == A_sorted[None, :])[:, 1]
But it doesn't work when the input array is very large (len > 100000). What I did wrong and how can I resolve it?

@RahulAgarwal Not a duplicate because we are trying to trace back the index positions in the sorted array against the original order. Simply using argsort as suggested in the linked dup target won't work here.

Approach #1
We could use double argsort -
np.argsort(a)[::-1].argsort() # a is input array/list
Approach #2
We could use one argsort and then array-assignment -
# https://stackoverflow.com/a/41242285/ @Andras Deak
def argsort_unique(idx):
n = idx.size
sidx = np.empty(n,dtype=int)
sidx[idx] = np.arange(n)
return sidx
out = argsort_unique(np.argsort(a)[::-1])

indexes = numpy.argsort(arr)
the indexes array will contain all the indexes in the order in which the array arr would be sorted
