sorting labels in matplotlib scaterplot

Question

I have the following code for a scatterplot, and the corresponding plot is shown below:

x = [\'C9-U2\', \'C10-U5\', \'C10-U5\', \'C11-U1\', \'C11-U1\']
y = [\'J\         


        

Answer 1

Following 'ImportanceOfBeingErnest ', the code could be shorten to

# initial plot to set sorted axis label
us = plt.plot(sorted(x),sorted(y))
[u.remove() for u in us]

# now plot the real thing, sorting not required
plt.scatter(x,y)
