R help - Dec 2006 - how to sort random numbers according to the sample ?

Dear R-users,
   
  ####  below is my code to randomized x three times.
   
  > x=c(6,8,9,11)
> plan=NULL
> for(i in 1:3){
+ set.seed(i)
+ r<-runif(x)
+ plan=cbind(plan,r)
+ }

   
   
  #####  which gave the matrix
   
  > plan
             r                  r         r
[1,] 0.2655087 0.1848823 0.1680415
[2,] 0.3721239 0.7023740 0.8075164
[3,] 0.5728534 0.5733263 0.3849424
[4,] 0.9082078 0.1680519 0.3277343
   
  #### and order numbers
  
>  apply(plan,2,order)
       r r r
[1,] 1 4 1
[2,] 2 1 4
[3,] 3 3 3
[4,] 4 2 2

  ### My question is, is there a way to order the matrix "plan"
according to x so I don't have to check that 1 is corresponding to 6, 2
corresponds to 8 , 3 to 9 and 4 to 11. I mean after ordering matrix "plan
" the result should be
  
       r   r     r
[1,] 6   11   6
[2,] 8   6   11
[3,] 9   9     9
[4,] 11 8     8
   
  Thanks for any help,
   
  All the bests,
  Jenny

in your example you need

r <- matrix(runif(12), 4, 3)
x <- c(6, 8, 9, 11)
########
apply(r, 2, function(y) x[order(y)])


however, you can directly use sample(), i.e.,

sapply(1:3, function(i) sample(x))


I hope it helps.
