sort.data.frame

Implement the sort and order methods for data.frame and matrix, sorting it in lexicographic order.

Description

These function return a data frame sorted in lexcographic order or a permutation that will rearrange it into lexicographic order: first by the first column, ties broken by the second, remaining ties by the third, etc..

Usage

order(..., na.last = TRUE, decreasing = FALSE)

## Default S3 method:
order(..., na.last = TRUE, decreasing = FALSE)

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
order(..., na.last = TRUE, decreasing = FALSE)

## S3 method for class 'matrix'
order(..., na.last = TRUE, decreasing = FALSE)

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
sort(x, decreasing = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

`...`	Ignored for `sort`. For `order`, first argument is the data frame to be ordered. (This is needed for compatibility with `order`.)
`na.last`	See `order` documentation.
`decreasing`	Whether to sort in decreasing order.
`x`	A `data.frame` to sort.

Value

For sort, a data frame, sorted lexicographically. For order, a permutation I (of a vector 1:nrow(x)) such that x[I,,drop=FALSE] equals x ordered lexicographically.

Examples

data(iris)

head(iris)

head(order(iris))

head(sort(iris))

stopifnot(identical(sort(iris),iris[order(iris),]))
