R-help,

Long ago I asked how to sort a data frame according to one of the
columns.
But Iwas wondering ho I could "double sort" , i.e, sort according to
one column and another one afterwards.
It is quite easy in Excel but  I am unable to implemented in R.


I have searched in the R help archives and found nothing.


Thank you in advance.
