Sorting trees

Sometimes it's easiest to understand data when it is sorted according to the value you are most interested in. Your new research task is to create an array containing the trunk diameters in the New York City tree census, sorted in order from smallest to largest.

numpy is loaded as np, and the tree_census 2D array is available.

Instructions

100 XP
  • Create an array called sorted_trunk_diameters which selects only the trunk diameter column from tree_census and sorts it so that the smallest trunk diameters are at the top of the array and the largest at the bottom.
