[Rd] ordering in 'gnls' with 'corCompSymm' corStruct

attached to the object in 'gnls' even though the data frame is sorted therein, since the call to 'Initialize' within 'gnls' will not then change them. If this explanation is true, 'Initialize.corCompSymm' should not accept an unordered 'data' formal, or should sort the

Hi Douglas, thanks for your answer. My question indeed arises from a sparse matrix context: 'A' is sparse symmetric, and 'C' must also be sparse since it would otherwise fill. It comes from a Bayes regression with a very large number of parameters; a loop over blocks will do the job in my sp
