Is there a straightforward way to convert
arr =
a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b
;
to:
a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b
?
So I need to swap the first and last dimension. Which should in principle be possible because altough arr
does not have a fixed structure the 'bottom' is always uniform:
Level[arr, -2]
a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b
Had Transpose/Flatten/MapThread accepted negative level specification it would have been easy. That is not the case.
One can think about that question as: how to create arr2
so that arr[[whatever__, y_]] == arr2[[y, whatever__]]
.
EDIT:
In general Level[arr, -2]
should be a rectangular array but rows do not need to be the same.

Not a solution, butFlatten[MapIndexed[RotateRight[#2] -> #1 &, arr, -1]]
gives you a list of rules of what needs to be constructed. I don't know of a way to construct it though:SparseArray
does not construct ragged structures.

This is what the list at the lowest level looks like:
el = First@Level[list, -2];
Using this, we can solve it with a rules-based approach:
list /. el -> # & /@ el
or a recursive approach like this:
walk[lists : __List, i_] := walk[#, i] & /@ lists
walk[atoms : __, i_] := i
walk[list, #] & /@ el
