# numpy.recarray.flatten

`recarray.``flatten`(order='C')

  Return a copy of the array collapsed into one dimension.

  Parameters: | order : {‘C’, ‘F’, ‘A’, ‘K’}, optional ‘C’ means to flatten in row-major (C-style) order. ‘F’ means to flatten in column-major (Fortran- style) order. ‘A’ means to flatten in column-major order if a is Fortran contiguous in memory, row-major order otherwise. ‘K’ means to flatten a in the order the elements occur in memory. The default is ‘C’.
  Returns: | y : ndarray A copy of the input array, flattened to one dimension.

      >>> a.flatten('F')
      array([1, 3, 2, 4])
