Given a non-negative number n, sort the digits of n by their first occurrence in pi.

Input can be taken via function cli argument, or STDIN and as a string, char[] or integer. You may output via return value, exit status or STDOUT.

r{P`#c}$

Try it online!

-3: Use a string based on the P pi variable instead of a literal.
-2: Decided I don't need to uniquify at all, since finding an index takes the first occurrence anyways. -2: Thanks to jimmy23013 for an interesting approach using x mod 65536.

Explanation:

r{P`#c}$ e# Takes an input token
r        e# Take the integer as a string
 {P`#c}  e# Sorting key:
  P      e#  Push P (defaults to 3.141592653589793)
   `     e#  Convert to string representation
    #    e#  Find char's index in the string we made
         e#  A '.' will never be found in an integer, but it doesn't matter, since the shifting preserves ideal sorting.
         e#  A '0' will be indexed as -1.
     c   e#  Convert index to char
         e#  This first calculates index % 65536, and then converts to char. We need this because otherwise 0 would be indexed as -1, i.e. smallest index.
         e#  We don't need to convert back to integer, since we can use lexicographical sorting.

YP99Y$uj!y=sY"

Try it online!

Explanation with an example

The symbol ; is used as row separator in matrices. So [1 2 3] is a row vector, [1; 2; 3] is a column vector, and [1 2; 3 4] is a square matrix. The latter can also be represented, for clarity, as

[1 2;
 3 4]

Consider input 2325 as an example.

YP     % Push approximation of pi as a double (predefined literal)
       % 3.14159265358979
99Y$   % Variable-precision arithmetic with 99 digits. Gives a string.

C# Interactive, 37 36 Bytes

i.OrderBy(c=>"145926870".IndexOf(c))

Actually you have to execute this in the C# interactive for proper results, but I guess this is what you meant with exit status. The variable i actually is the input variable (it can be for example a string), so it's basically the method parameter.

I think the code itself is pretty straight forward.
