Try looking at the examples in :
?order

perhaps:

dta.frm[order(user_id), ]


.... especially the one that demonstrates how to sort dataframes with three indices. And if that does not satisfy your needs, then you absolutely must provide a simple example and an explicit layout of what the output should look like.

hi Erin,
Thanks for your reply to my problems. I tried and it works, but it sorted all the column. In my case, I want it to sort d user_id column and another
information in other column will follow it. Now, after I sorted, the
information which website viewed by user was wrong. I want to as how we can
sort or filter in excel.

Thank you.

regards,
hema

Hi,
There is definitely a more elegant way of doing this which I don't know
about (without a for loop), but try this:

mat <- matrix(NA, nrow = max(user_id), ncol = 2)
mat[,1] <- 1:max(user_id) # 1st column of matrix is the user ID

for (i in 1:max(user_id)){
temp1 <- subset(data, user_id = i)
temp2 <- unique(temp1$website)
mat[2,i] <- length(temp2)
}

The matrix will give you user id and number of sites visited, provided user id ranges from 1 to the number of users. There must be a way to do this
using table, but I cant figure it out.

Cheers,
Umesh

My problem is how to sort the data? So that, I can get information
about
one
user_id viewed how many website perday?



Maybe you were looking at the wrong item, because what you want is not
sorting, but a table.

Check the documentation of table or ftable.
