Hello,
I have a data.frame which I would like to sort with the primary key
decreasing while the secondry key is increasing e.g.
x <- data.frame(One=c(1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5),Two=c(2,3,1,2,3,3,3,3))
I would like to order it so it looks like this:
One Two
8 5 3
7 4 3
6 3 3
4 2 2
5 2 3
3 1 1
1 1 2
2 1 3
i.e. primarily decreasing in the 1st column but if there is a tie
increasing in the second column.
Is this possible? I can not find anything in order that seems to
support this. I would have thought,
x[order(x$One,x$Two,decreasing=c(T,F)),]
would do it but it doesn't.
Thanks
Dan
