Hi all,
In Spanish vowels with accent like á, é, ... doesn't affect to the
alphabetical order of vector of strings. I mean, a or á don't matter for
establishing the alphabetical order.
Nevertheless, while working with R order, here is what I get.
Given a file transport.txt
medio#variable
avión#34
barco#33
bicicleta#3
ángulo#37
camión#54
coche#23
tren#67
> toPlot <-
read.csv("~/Desktop/Workplace/transport.txt",header=TRUE,sep="#")
> toPlot[order(toPlot$medio),]
medio variable
1 avión 34
2 barco 33
3 bicicleta 3
5 camión 54
6 coche 23
7 tren 67
4 ángulo 37
>
I expect ángulo appears in the first place as n (in ángulo) goes before
v (in avión) and á/a doesn't matter for alphabetical order.
But ángulo appears in the last position.
Here my environment:
> sessionInfo()

Is it not possible to get this dataframe ordered correctly in Spanish?
Other programs (Excel, for instance) do order correctly.
Thanks for your help,
Ricardo
