Hi,
I'm trying to translate some Matlab code to R and I'm trying to
implement the behavior of Matlab's sort() which when applied to a matrix
will sort the columns returning the column sorted matrix as well as a
matrix of permuted indices.
Doing:
> x <- matrix(c(3,4,2,6,3,4,8,7,5), nr=3)
> x
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 3 6 8
[2,] 4 3 7
[3,] 2 4 5
What I want after sorting x are two matrices:
(the column sorted x)
2 3 5
3 4 7
4 6 8
and (the index matrix)
3 2 3
1 3 2
2 1 1
Doing,
> sx <- apply(x, c(2), sort, index.return=T)
results in sx being a series of lists. I know I could then go through
the list and create a sorted matrix and an index matrix.
But is there a neater way to do this?
Thanks,
