# sympy__sympy-14317 # Loki Mode Multi-Agent Patch # Attempts: 1 Based on the issue description and architect's analysis, I need to generate a patch for the sympy repository's LaTeX printer. The issue is that `_print_Poly` in `sympy/printing/latex.py` doesn't preserve the monomial order (highest to lowest degree) that `str` and `pretty` printers use. Looking at the issue: - `Poly([a, 1, b, 2, c, 3], x)` should print monomials in order: `a*x**5 + x**4 + b*x**3 + 2*x**2 + c*x + 3` - LaTeX incorrectly outputs: `a x^{5} + b x^{3} + c x + x^{4} + 2 x^{2} + 3` (grouping symbolic and numeric coefficients separately) The fix is to use `poly.as_expr()` which returns the expression with terms in the correct canonical order, rather than converting the polynomial's internal representation directly. ``` --- a/sympy/printing/latex.py +++ b/sympy/printing/latex.py @@ -1839,7 +1839,7 @@ def _print_Poly(self, poly): return r"\operatorname{Poly}{\left( 0, %s, domain=%s \right)}" % (terms, domain) poly = poly.set_gens(gens) - cls = "\\operatorname{Poly}" + cls = r"\operatorname{Poly}" - poly_expr = self._print(poly.as_dict()) + poly_expr = self._print(poly.as_expr()) return r"{}{{({}, {})}}" % (cls, poly_expr, self._print(poly.domain)) ``` Wait, I need to look at the actual sympy code structure to provide an accurate patch.
