Hi,
I believe Bart answered to your question. What is the solution you are
expecting? If you don't give us more explanations we cannot understand
what is wrong for you.

|order| returns a permutation which rearranges its first argument into
ascending or descending order, breaking ties by further arguments.
|sort.list| is the same, using only one argument.
See the examples for how to use these functions to sort data frames, etc.
In the section "see also" of the help about sort there are the two
functions sort and rank!

[1] 2 3 1 4
