Hi, Consider the following example:
sort(10:1, partial=3) ## 1 2 3 7 6 5 4 8 9 10 sort(10:1, index=T) ## $x: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ## $ix: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 sort(10:1, partial=3, index=T) ## 1 2 3 7 6 5 4 8 9 10 The first 2 calls gave expected returns; however, the third one did not returned an index as requested. I could not find anything about it in http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-patched/library/base/html/sort.html <http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-patched/library/base/html/sort.html> , so it seems to be an "undocumented feature". Does any body know how to "convince" sort to return index of partially sorted array?
