So imagine I have a vector:
zz = c("a","c","d","b")
and another vector:
xx = c("d","c","a","b")
I need to get xx in the same order as zz. I am sure this is very simple but
I can't figure it out from the help pages for order or sort. Perhaps I'm
not
trying hard enough but its been bugging me for a while.... Can anyone help?
