[R] order

[tomsv193@student.liu.se]

Hi!

Why is the rows-indicies effected by ordering? 
Example:

(data=)
  name   age
1 peter  13
2 eric   15
3 daniel 14 

#ordering by name...

  name   age
3 daniel 14
2 eric   15
1 peter  13

why not:

  name   age
1 daniel 14
2 eric   15
3 peter  13

Does it effect other operations? data[,1] really gives the 1:st row, 
but when data is printed it says that the first row have index 3...
