Hi Ramya,
You're almost there. Just specify that you want to order all the data set
based-on the third column. Here is an example:
# Data
information=data.frame(
geneset=letters[1:7],
chromosome=1,
hit=c(51,24,30,17,35,55,61))
# New data
information[order(information[,3],decreasing=TRUE),]
HTH,
Jorge
