Hello,
Is this what you’re looking for?
`c xgroup t

q)t:(a:10?100;b:10?100;c:10?8)
q)t
a b c
2 84 4
39 63 0
64 93 2
49 54 1
82 38 2
40 97 1
88 88 2
77 58 3
30 68 2
17 45 5
q)select a,b by c from t
| c | a b |
|---|---|
| 0 | ,39 ,63 |
| 1 | 49 40 54 97 |
| 2 | 64 82 88 30 93 38 88 68 |
| 3 | ,77 ,58 |
| 4 | ,2 ,84 |
| 5 | ,17 ,45 |
The group primitive returns a different order, which seems more
natural:
q)group t.c
4| ,0
0| ,1
2| 2 4 6 8
1| 3 5
3| ,7
5| ,9
Is there any way to get grouped queries to *not* sort by default?
