# numpy.char.chararray.newbyteorder

method

char.chararray.newbyteorder(new_order='S', /)

  Return the array with the same data viewed with a different byte order.

  Equivalent to:

      arr.view(arr.dtype.newbytorder(new_order))

  Changes are also made in all fields and sub-arrays of the array data type.

  Parameters
    new_order string, optional

      Byte order to force; a value from the byte order specifications below. new_order codes can be any of:

      - ‘S’ - swap dtype from current to opposite endian

      - {‘<’, ‘little’} - little endian

      - {‘>’, ‘big’} - big endian

      - {‘=’, ‘native’} - native order, equivalent to `sys.byteorder`

      - {‘|’, ‘I’} - ignore (no change to byte order)

      The default value (‘S’) results in swapping the current byte order.

  Returns
    new_arr array

      New array object with the dtype reflecting given change to the byte order.
