R help - Aug 2004 - How to Arrange character vector in alphabetic order

Hi,
 
Is there any function that can arrange a character in alphabetic order? Thanks
for answer

You mean as in:
> x <- c("aaa", "abc", "ab", "d")
> sort(x)
[1] "aaa" "ab"  "abc" "d"  

??

Thanks for answer
Check out sort().
> vv <- c(letters[5:10], letters[20:11], letters[21:26], letters[4:1])
> vv
 [1]
"e" "f" "g" "h" "i"
"j" "t" "s" "r" "q"
"p" "o" "n" "m" "l"
"k" "u" "v" "w"[20]
"x" "y" "z" "d" "c"
"b" "a"
> sort(vv)
 [1]
"a" "b" "c" "d" "e"
"f" "g" "h" "i" "j"
"k" "l" "m" "n" "o"
"p" "q" "r" "s"[20]
"t" "u" "v" "w" "x"
"y" "z"

?sort, ?order, etc....

Sorry for not asking the question clearly. The elements of the character vector
may consist of numbers not just letter. How to do that. Thanks.

Please do read the posting guide, which suggests that you provide a simple
example of what you want to achieve, instead of leaving people guessing what
you have in mind.
