Hello all, I think I am missing something about the sorting parameter in the "match" command/ Here is an example:
a1 <- data.frame(name = c("D", "B", "C", "A", "A", "C")) a2 <- data.frame(name = c("A", "B", "C", "D"), num = 1:4) a1 a2 merge(a1, a2, sort = F, by.x = T) The result is: name num 1 D 4 2 B 2 3 C 3 4 C 3 5 A 1 6 A 1 While I wish my rows to be in the same order as in a1, they are having some other order. What am I missing here? Thanks. ----------------Contact Details:------------------------------------------------------- Contact me: tal.gal...@gmail.com | 972-52-7275845 Read me: www.talgalili.com (Hebrew) | www.biostatistics.co.il (Hebrew) | www.r-statistics.com (English) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
