Almost done... Sys.setlocale(category = "LC_ALL", locale = "es_ES.ISO8859-15")
The order is now correct, but it renders incorrectly most of the non-ASCII characters, both in console: 1 √\201guilas de mantenimiento 1.97 NA 1.72 2 √\201ngeles de la CONAGUA 1.77 1.97 1.94 And in quartz(): http://mire.environmentalchange.net/~webmaster/images/MexRenderErrors.png Well, the solution seems to be to set order with a locale, and to create the output with the other, is this possible? Thanks!
