In excel a handy tool is the sort data by column ...i.e. i can highlight the
whole dataset and sort it according to a particular column...like sort the
data in a column in acending or decending order where all the other columns
change aswell.
I need to do this in R now but dont know how.
...heres an example...
Say I have dataset...
Header 1 Header 2 Header 3
1 3 Working 12
2 4 Off 1
3 5 Works 2
4 2 Works 13
5 4 Off 5
...and i want to sort the data by putting the values in the third column in
acending order, like this...
Header 1 Header 2 Header 3
1 4 Off 1
2 5 Works 2
3 4 Off 5
4 3 Working 12
5 2 Works 13
...although im sorting column three in acending order all the rows shuffle
so that the parameters in each row stay aligned.
How do i do this in R?
