Hi list, I'd like to submit the following problem that seems a bug but it is so strange that it could be my mind ... so I would like to sort a list of date time items like in this script:
df = data.frame(DateTime = c( '2016-12-21 10:34:54', '2016-12-21 11:04:54', '2016-12-21 11:34:54', '2016-03-27 02:05:50', '2016-03-27 02:35:50', '2016-12-21 12:04:54', '2016-12-21 12:34:54' )) df$DateTime = as.POSIXlt(strptime(df$DateTime, format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')) ord = order(as.numeric(strptime(df$DateTime, format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))) df.ord = df[ord,1] df.ord I have the following results: "2016-12-21 10:34:54 CET" "2016-12-21 11:04:54 CET" "2016-12-21 11:34:54 CET" "2016-12-21 12:04:54 CET" "2016-12-21 12:34:54 CET" "2016-03-27 02:05:50" "2016-03-27 02:35:50" the last two terms should be before (note that CET is missing). if I change "2016-03-27 02:05:50" and "2016-03-27 02:35:50" to something like "2016-03-27 01:05:50" and "2016-03-27 01:35:50" it seems to work. It seems to have problem with 02 hours. Any ideas? I'm using R-3.1.2 on Win Thank you rob [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
