Dear R People:
Suppose I have the following output:
table(xx)
xx
A C G T
13 12 10 15
I would like to have the output sorted in descending order by "height"
or frequency.
But when I do the following:
rev(table(xx))
xx
T G C A
15 10 12 13
the output is sorted by the names rather than the frequency.
Any suggestions, please?
(a) Why on earth are you using ***rev()***???
(b) Does this do what you want?
> tx <- table(xx)
> tx[order(tx)]
xx
G C A T
10 12 13 15
cheers,
Rolf
