Hello all,
I cannot seem to figure out this seemingly simple procedure.
I want to sort a data frame by a specified character vector.
So for :
df.. <- data.frame(Season=rep(c("Summer","Fall","Winter","Spring"),4),Obs=
runif(length(rep(c("Summer","Fall","Winter","Spring"),4))))
I want to sort the data frame by the seasons but in the order I specify
since alphapetically would not put the season in sequential order
I tried the following and a few other things but no dice. It looks like I
will have to convert to factors. Any thoughts? Thanks
df.. <-
df..[sort(as.factor(Df..$Season,levels=c("Summer","Fall","Winter","Spring"))),]
Josh
