Subject: Re: [R] Sorting a data frame with values of different lengths
Also, I tried changing a line to store W as numeric:

terms (including W) that I was adding to a data frame.
This caused R to convert the numeric W to a character string.
I fixed this by using data.frame() and then rbind() instead of c() and

Hi Sarah,
str(W_table) gives me:

Hi,
It looks to me that your data frame is being sorted as text.
