[R] Contour plot overlayed with line plot

[Jonathan Greenberg]

Keeping with the "newbie" questions -- I'm having a hard time figuring out
how to order the data -- I have x,y,z triplets, but I'm getting this error:

...increasing 'x' and 'y' values expected

I saw in the documentation they should be ordered, but a) how do I do this,
and b) do I need to sort by x first then y?  

Thanks!

Use contour() first in the usual way, then use the lines() function to 
add lines to it. (Or points(), etc.)
