     Returns the indices that sort an array ``x`` along a specified axis.

     Parameters
     ----------
-    x : array
-        input array. Should have a real-valued data type.
+    x: array
+        input array. **Should** have a real-valued data type.
     axis: int
-        axis along which to sort. If set to ``-1``, the function must sort along the last axis. Default: ``-1``.
+        axis along which to sort. A valid axis **must** be an integer on the interval ``[-N, N)``, where ``N`` is the number of axes in ``x``. If an axis is specified as a negative integer, the function **must** determine the axis along which to perform the operation by counting backward from the last axis (where ``-1`` refers to the last axis). If provided an invalid axis, the function **must** raise an exception. Default: ``-1``.
     descending: bool
-        sort order. If ``True``, the returned indices sort ``x`` in descending order (by value). If ``False``, the returned indices sort ``x`` in ascending order (by value). Default: ``False``.
+        sort order. If ``True``, the returned indices **must** sort ``x`` in descending order (by value). If ``False``, the returned indices **must** sort ``x`` in ascending order (by value). Default: ``False``.
     stable: bool
-        sort stability. If ``True``, the returned indices must maintain the relative order of ``x`` values which compare as equal. If ``False``, the returned indices may or may not maintain the relative order of ``x`` values which compare as equal (i.e., the relative order of ``x`` values which compare as equal is implementation-dependent).

Default: ``True``.
 
     Returns
     -------
-    out : array
-        an array of indices. The returned array must have the same shape as ``x``. The returned array must have the default array index data type.
