Another possibility: # Generate the months in sequential order: m <- months(seq(as.Date('2000/1/1'), by='month',length=12),abbreviate=T) # Concatenate the data est=rbind(est31,est30,est28) # generate the right order ind <- match(substr(rownames(est),1,3),m) # reorder the rows est <- est[ind,]
BTW, Richard meant "rbind" instead of "cbind" in his code, which I'm sure you knew.
