Hello, I would like to sort the df below, such that it sorts y1 in decreasing order for tt == 1 and in increasing order for tt == 0. My solution is below, but curious if there might be something better (meaning faster in this case). Actually, if instead if implicitly sorting, I could add a variable ?rank? as in my ?hope? data frame below, that would work too (as I just need the ranking of observations, not necessarily the data explicitly sorted in the results). ### Sample data y1 <- c(50,100,200,20,400,100,500,1000,12,25) tt <- factor(c(1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0)) df <- data.frame(y1, tt) ### My solution library(dplyr) sorted <- rbind(df[df$tt == 1, ] %>% arrange(desc(y1)), df[df$tt == 0, ] %>% arrange(y1)) ### What I hope to get hope <- data.frame(df, rank = c(4, 3, 2, 6, 9, 8, 10, 1, 5, 7)) hope[order(hope$rank),] Thanks for any help. Best Axel. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
I did not read your post in detail but have you not looked at ?rank ? Cheers, Bert Bert Gunter "Data is not information. Information is not knowledge.

If you need that third column, then cbind the ?rank" vector with seq(nrow(df)) but I would avoid using the name ?rank" for obvious reasons. (And note that `df` is also an R function name.)> > > Thanks for any help. > > Best Axel. > [[alternative HTML version deleted]]Please.
