Dear R helpers, Suppose I have following data.frame.
df <- data.frame(category = c("treat_A", "treat_A", "treat_A", "treat_A", "treat_A", "treat_A", "treat_A", "treat_A", "treat_B", "treat_B", "treat_B", "treat_B", "treat_B", "treat_B", "treat_B", "treat_B"), type = c("AA", "AAAA", "B", "AAA", "BB", "BBBB", "BBB", "AAA", "B", "AAA", "BBB", "AA", "AAAA", "BB", "A", "BBBB"), values = c(0.382000183, 0.100680563, 0.596484268, 0.899105808, 0.884609516, 0.958464309, 0.014496292, 0.407422102, 0.863246559, 0.138584552, 0.245033113, 0.045472579, 0.032380139, 0.164128544, 0.219611194, 0.017090365)) > df category type values 1 treat_A AA 0.38200018 2 treat_A AAAA 0.10068056 3 treat_A B 0.59648427 4 treat_A AAA 0.89910581 5 treat_A BB 0.88460952 6 treat_A BBBB 0.95846431 7 treat_A BBB 0.01449629 8 treat_A A 0.40742210 9 treat_B B 0.86324656 10 treat_B AAA 0.13858455 11 treat_B BBB 0.24503311 12 treat_B AA 0.04547258 13 treat_B AAAA 0.03238014 14 treat_B BB 0.16412854 15 treat_B A 0.21961119 16 treat_B BBBB 0.01709036 I need to sort above dataframe for the category treat_A and treat_B type-wise i.e. in the order (AAAA, AAA, AA, A, BBBB, BBB, BB, B) Thus I need category type values 1 treat_A AAAA 0.10068056 2 treat_A AAA 0.89910581 3 treat_A AA 0.38200018 4 treat_A A 0.40742210 5 treat_A BBBB 0.95846431 6 treat_A BBB 0.01449629 7 treat_A BB 0.88460952 8 treat_A B 0.59648427 9 treat_B AAAA 0.03238014 10 treat_B AAA 0.13858455 11 treat_B AA 0.04547258 12 treat_B A 0.21961119 13 treat_B BBBB 0.01709036 14 treat_B BBB 0.24503311 15 treat_B BB 0.16412854 16 treat_B B 0.86324656 Kindly advice how this can be achieved. I referred to "?sort" and "?order" literature, but couldn't find any example of this sort. Thanking you in advance. Vincy [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
