Dear R-devel(opers),
I wanted to draw your attention to a small problem with the order
function in base. According to the documentation, radix sort supports
different orders for each argument. This breaks when one of the
arguments is an object.
Please have a look to this stackoverflow question:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39737871/r-order-method-on-multiple-columns-gives-error-argument-lengths-differ
It describes the problem well and suggests a solution.
Although it is a niche case, it's a very easy thing to fix :)
Best regards,
Karl Nordström
