similar to: lexicographic sort of ordered lists

Is there any built-in way to lexicographically compare two vectors of the same length in R? The textbook algorithm could be coded as follows: lex.cmp <- function (vec1,vec2) { for (j in 1:length(vec1)) { if (vec1[j] < vec2[j]) { return(-1) } if (vec1[j] > vec2[j]) { return(1) } } return(0) } Thanks, Gabriel

Undoubtedly a simple question: I've looked at order() and sort() in the help pages for R1.7.1. It doesn't appear that these functions are immediately suited to doing the same thing as PROC SORT DATA = BLAH; BY X Y Z; RUN; in SAS. I have also checked Frank Harrell's Hmisc library. Could someone point me in the right direction so I can sort by the levels of Z within the levels of

Hi all, I have some email addresses that I would like to sort in reverse lexicographic order so that addresses from the same domain will be grouped together. How might that be done?

Hi all, I am attempting to run a script in which I permute my data and run a Wilcoxon rank sum test on the data 1000 times and compare my original test statistic to the permuted test statistics to more accurately estimate a significance level for the trends I am observing. In the process of doing this, I need to sort a data frame that measures 3 x 1001 based on the value of the test statistic

Dear friends, I want to sort a dataset according to one or two variables in the dataset, i thought sort could do it , but failed. e.g. x <- c(2, 9, 18, 3, 2) y<-c(2,5.6,5,9,8) z<-c(21,5,5,19,7) a<-cbind(x,y,z) a x y z [1,] 2 2.0 21 [2,] 9 5.6 5 [3,] 18 5.0 5 [4,] 3 9.0 19 [5,] 2 8.0 7 I want to sort dataset a according to ascending x and descending y, How to

Hi all, I want to order a series that is included on the second column in MCT.csv. I do but R doesn?t order, could be because is a csv? I have prove MCT<-read.csv("MCT.csv") a<-order(MCTor[,2],2,decreasing = FALSE) a<-order(MCTor[,2],1,decreasing = FALSE) or the same with sort but didn?t worked. It is suposed that a will have the ordered on ascending or descending

Hello everyone, I have a matrix of over 40000 line and about 30 columns. For my analysis I would like to add another column with ascending numbers (column header should be "order", and than 1,2,3,4 ....the end of the matrix). During my analysis I reorder them ( due to merge commands by a different column). How do I add such a column in an ascending order (or descending for what it

Hi there! I need some assistance here with vector orderings. I have a set of q vectors of length p, grouped by rows in a matrix A, q?p, that I need to order lexicographically (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicographical_order). I also have another matrix B, p?r, and a vector c, that should be ordered according to the order of A. So far, I was doing ordering <-

Derar R-people I have troubles understanding what the function sort.list() is doing. On the homepage it says that it returns a permutation which rearranges a vector into ascending or descending order (like order() but on a vector instead of a sequence). > sort.list(c(0, 2, 10, 11, 4)) [1] 1 2 5 3 4 which does not make sense to me. In fact I am getting the same (non-sensical) result using

Dear R Users, A bit of a simple question, but I could not find the answer thru google ("sorting lists r cran","how can i sort a list r cran") or RSiteSearch... how can I sort a list ? One imagines something like sort.list would do the job, but that's not the one. > foo<-list(a=10,b=2,c=3) > sort.list(foo) Error in sort.list(foo) : 'x' must be atomic

I've got a matrix with 2 columns and n rows. I need to sort it first by the values in column 1 ascending. Then for values which are the same in column 1, sort by column 2 decending. For example: 2 .5 1 .3 1 .5 3 .2 Goes to: 1 .5 1 .3 2 .5 3 .2 This is easy to do in spreadsheet programs but I can't seem to work out how to do it in R and haven't been able to find a solution anywhere.

Hello, I wonder if there is a way to cause Xapian to order a result set purely by docid. In other words, once the result set has been determined, I'd like the results to be returned to me ordered by their docid, as opposed to by their match relevance. The problem at hand is that I'm building a search engine for a mailing list and I would like to return matches sorted by date; ordering by

Hi, The rows of a data frame can be sorted lexicographically as shown in this example, my.df <- data.frame(x=c(1,1,1,2,2), y=c(1,2,3,2,1)) my.df[order(my.df$x,my.df$y, decreasing=TRUE), ] however, I'm wondering if it's possible to pass a variable in as the first argument to order() so that the actual set of columns used in the sort can be easily varied? FWIW, the first argument to
