Dear All,

Let ab is the combination of matrices a and b.


a <- matrix(c(1,2,3,4), nrow = 2, ncol = 2)
b <- matrix(c(4,3,1,2), nrow = 2, ncol = 2)
ab <- rbind(a, b)

From matrix ab, could someone give some advice on the way to sort all elements in column 2, by the sequence of the elements in column 1 in ascending order?

R> ab[order(ab[,1]),2]
[1] 3 4 2 1
