Hi all
I have a dataframe like I coppied below
ff
a b d
1 10 5 7
2 20 4 9
3 3 8 10
4 5 6 8
5 6 3 5
6 73 7 3
7 45 28 9
8 3 2 8
while I am trying to sort multy coloums at once I am not able to
get that
like ina order of first column "a" next column "d" after that
column "b"
here I tried with
o <- order(a,d,b)
a, b and d are not objects. They are columns within ff.
with( ff, order(a,b,d))
#[1] 8 3 4 5 1 2 7 6
but it returns an error
can any one help me to sort this multy-columns atonce
The ordering of that dataframe would be (almost) uniquely determined
by ordering on the first column. Even the one duplicate (3) gets
resolved with reference to the second column.
ff[with(ff, order(a,b,d)), ]
a b d
8 3 2 8
3 3 8 10
4 5 6 8
5 6 3 5
1 10 5 7
2 20 4 9
7 45 28 9
6 73 7 3
thanks in advance
