R help - Apr 2006 - Sort Problem

Hi All,



I have certain combinations for which I have some value, e.g.



0 1         20

0 2         15

1 1         40

1 2         52



Now I need to sort this list for which I'll get the combination against the
lowest value. In this case, 15, and the combination will be 0 2.

See ?order.  You can use the ordering that you get from order() to grab the
appropriate entry in your matrix/data.frame.

If Sumanta just wants the entry with the minimum, there's no need to sort
the whole thing.  which.min() should work.
