[R] sort.list, order

[Robert Cunningham]

Dear Jun,

It is working fine. It is just that it is returning the vector indices
in the correct order-you think it is returning the values.

try this

c(2,3,1,5,4)[order(c(2,3,1,5,4))]

or 

x<-c(2,3,1,5,4) #easier to follow
x[order(x)]



and look at ?sort


Cheers, 


Robert Cunningham
