Re: [R] Ordering data by variable

Hi Marcio, Is this what you want? x <- c(2,6,8,8,1) y <- c(1,6,3,5,4) o <- order(x) # If you want each vector order by x x[o] y[o] You can also use sort(), but then each vector would be sorted by itself, not both by x. HTH, Josh On Thu, Sep 2, 2010 at 1:48 PM, Mestat wrote: > > Hi listers,

[R] Ordering data by variable

Hi listers, I could order a data that like this: x<-c(2,6,8,8,1) y<-c(1,6,3,5,4) o<-order(x) frame<-rbind(x,y)[,o] But, I would like to know if there is a way to order my data without setting up a data frame. I would like to keep independent vectors x and y. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Mar
