Originally, we implemented a "sortDF" function in SparkR DataFrame
corresponds to the "sort" function of the Scala DataFrame. Later, "sortDF" was
renamed to "arrange" to be more frendly with "dlypr" package.
My question here is that naming this helper function as "sort" is
desirable? This will override the "sort" function in R base package. After this
change, If an R user wants to use the "sort" in base package in SparkR, it has
to use base::sort(). As sort() may be widely and commonly used function, is
this preferrable?
Could we find a new name for it?
