Why attribute order is different for Test and Train data

[chaitrasj]

Hello,
Thank you for this awesome repo.
I have a question, why in import_Market1501Attribute.py file, the label order of Train data is changed? Why both train and test label don't follow same order, is there any specific reason for imposing this?
Thanks

Hello guys, thank you for your interest in this repo.

The label order in import_Market1501Attribute.py is consistent with the attribute order of the dataset. You can get these orders by loading market_attribute.mat in MATLAB and printing "market_attribute.train" and "market_attribute.test".

I'm also confused why the publisher of this dataset doesn't use the same order for training set and test set. 🙂
