Unstable platform-dependent sort order for flex.sort_permutation
Hi, I've been trying to diagnose why the miller array cc_anom calculations seem to be platform dependent. I've narrowed this down to a variation in the sort order returned by flex.sort_permutation which is called from within miller.array.sort("packed_indices"). The following code demonstrates the problem and the different output I get on mac and Linux: Mac:
from scitbx.array_family import flex a = flex.size_t([7, 1, 1, 5, 1, 3, 3, 7, 1, 7, 3, 3, 5, 7, 5, 5, 5, 1, 1, 1]) print list(flex.sort_permutation(a)) [1, 2, 4, 8, 17, 18, 19, 5, 6, 10, 11, 3, 12, 14, 15, 16, 0, 7, 9, 13]
Linux:
from scitbx.array_family import flex a = flex.size_t([7, 1, 1, 5, 1, 3, 3, 7, 1, 7, 3, 3, 5, 7, 5, 5, 5, 1, 1, 1]) print list(flex.sort_permutation(a)) [19, 1, 2, 18, 4, 17, 8, 11, 10, 6, 5, 12, 14, 15, 16, 3, 9, 7, 13, 0]
Is it known/expected for the sort order to be platform dependent, or is this a bug? Here is the relevant code for flex.sort_permutation(): https://github.com/cctbx/cctbx_project/blob/master/scitbx/array_family/sort....

Hi Richard,
it is a bug only if the permutations do not lead to the same sequence. Otherwise you cannot expect to get the same sorting permutations for collections with redundant data on different platforms or even between different versions of compilers.
Cheers,
Oleg.
