Dear R users,
I'm a bit perplexed with the effect sort has here, as it is different on
Windows vs. linux.
It makes my factor levels and subsequent plots different on the two systems.
Given:
types <- c("PC-D-Euro-0", "PC-D-Euro-1", "PC-D-Euro-2", "PC-D-Euro-3",
"PC-D-Euro-4", "PC-D-Euro-5", "PC-D-Euro-6", "LCV-D-Euro-0",
"LCV-D-Euro-1", "LCV-D-Euro-2", "LCV-D-Euro-3", "LCV-D-Euro-4",
"LCV-D-Euro-5", "LCV-D-Euro-6", "HGV-D-Euro-0", "HGV-D-Euro-I",
"HGV-D-Euro-II", "HGV-D-Euro-III", "HGV-D-Euro-IV EGR", "HGV-D-Euro-IV SCR",
"HGV-D-Euro-IV SCRb", "HGV-D-Euro-V EGR", "HGV-D-Euro-V SCR",
"HGV-D-Euro-V SCRb", "HGV-D-Euro-VI", "HGV-D-Euro-VIb")
On linux, sort does:
sort(types)
[1] "HGV-D-Euro-0" "HGV-D-Euro-I" "HGV-D-Euro-II"
[4] "HGV-D-Euro-III" "HGV-D-Euro-IV EGR" "HGV-D-Euro-IV SCR"
[7] "HGV-D-Euro-IV SCRb" "HGV-D-Euro-V EGR" "HGV-D-Euro-VI"
[10] "HGV-D-Euro-VIb" "HGV-D-Euro-V SCR" "HGV-D-Euro-V SCRb"
[13] "LCV-D-Euro-0" "LCV-D-Euro-1" "LCV-D-Euro-2"
[16] "LCV-D-Euro-3" "LCV-D-Euro-4" "LCV-D-Euro-5"
[19] "LCV-D-Euro-6" "PC-D-Euro-0" "PC-D-Euro-1"
[22] "PC-D-Euro-2" "PC-D-Euro-3" "PC-D-Euro-4"
[25] "PC-D-Euro-5" "PC-D-Euro-6"
And on Windows:
sort(types)
[1] "HGV-D-Euro-0" "HGV-D-Euro-I" "HGV-D-Euro-II"
[4] "HGV-D-Euro-III" "HGV-D-Euro-IV EGR" "HGV-D-Euro-IV SCR"
[7] "HGV-D-Euro-IV SCRb" "HGV-D-Euro-V EGR" "HGV-D-Euro-V SCR"
[10] "HGV-D-Euro-V SCRb" "HGV-D-Euro-VI" "HGV-D-Euro-VIb"
[13] "LCV-D-Euro-0" "LCV-D-Euro-1" "LCV-D-Euro-2"
[16] "LCV-D-Euro-3" "LCV-D-Euro-4" "LCV-D-Euro-5"
[19] "LCV-D-Euro-6" "PC-D-Euro-0" "PC-D-Euro-1"
[22] "PC-D-Euro-2" "PC-D-Euro-3" "PC-D-Euro-4"
[25] "PC-D-Euro-5" "PC-D-Euro-6"
Session info for both systems is below. The order I actually want is the
Windows one, but looking at it,
the linux order is perhaps more intuitive. However, the problem is the
order is inconsistent between
the two systems. Any suggestions?
