contents In many data science applications, the objective is to extract appropriately-ordered smooth low-dimensional data patterns from high-dimensional data sets. This is challenging since common sorting algorithms are primarily aiming at finding monotonic orderings in low-dimensional data, whereas typical dimension reduction and feature extraction algorithms are not primarily designed for extracting smooth low-dimensional data patterns. We show that when selecting the Euclidean smoothness as a pattern quality criterium, both of these problems (finding the optimal 'crisp' data permutation and extracting the sparse set of permuted low-dimensional smooth patterns) can be efficiently solved numerically as one unsupervised entropy-regularized iterative optimization problem. We formulate and prove the conditions for monotonicity and convergence of this linearly-scalable (in dimension) numerical procedure, with the iteration cost scaling of $\mathcal{O}(DT^2)$, where $T$ is the size of the data statistics and $D$ is a feature space dimension. The efficacy of the proposed method is demonstrated through the examination of synthetic examples as well as a real-world application involving the identification of smooth bankruptcy risk minimizing transition patterns from high-dimensional economical data. The results showcase that the statistical properties of the overall time complexity of the method exhibit linear scaling in the dimensionality $D$ within the specified confidence intervals.
