A systematic way of constructing Grassmannian codes endowed with the subspace distance as lifts of matrix codes over the prime field is introduced. The matrix codes are -subspaces of the ring of matrices over on which the rank metric is applied, and are generated as one-sided proper principal ideals by idempotent elements of . Furthermore a weight function on the non-commutative matrix ring , a power of , is studied in terms of the egalitarian and homogeneous conditions. The rank weight distribution of is completely determined by the general linear group . Finally a weight function on subspace codes is analogously defined and its egalitarian property is examined.
