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():

Well, the solution seems to be to set order with a locale, and to create the
output with the other, is this possible?
Yes, but only for the same character set. I believe R.app assumes UTF-8,
and I would not expect to be able to change charset on a running console.
Please do use R-sig-mac for MacOS-specific issues.
Thanks!

Tricky question, this order issue :-(
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation.
Thus, please, must I conclude that I will have to survive with this ASCII
order while working in Mac OS X 10.5.2 until Mac people fix this bug?
You spoke about es_ES.ISO8859-15 in Mac. Will it do the trick? Yes, as far
as I understand. But as I am using R.app, locale is set by the system
preferences. Truly, I am kind of a mess with this issue.
Could I force es_ES.ISO8859-15 as a locale in the Mac.
Sorry of I put another question here... why does Excel order list
correctly? I guess it doesn't relies on Mac settings.
As a R newbie I must recognize that this, and others, behaviours are really
hard to deal with. But I've seen, an even done, such an amount of wonderful
things with R that it is worth all efforts. Thanks for your help.
All the best,
Ricardo
