Hi, Thanks for your reply. In the example I gave in the original post, your code works. But for others, it doesn't and I'm not sure why it works for some cases and not for others. For example:
x<-c(0.04,0.07,0.20,0.35,0.55,0.70) order(x) [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 Let's say I want y to be in the order 1-2-5-3-6-4. So I do: y<-x[c(1,2,5,3,6,4)] y [1] 0.04 0.07 0.55 0.20 0.70 0.35 order(y) [1] 1 2 4 6 3 5 So, y isn't in the order I want it to be in. Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Specifying-the-ordering-of-a-vector-tp4542766p4542815.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
