[R] Rank Values in a Matrix

[Jens Oldeland]

Dear All,

a short and maybe simple question:


I have to rank all values in a matrix from 0 to X,

    [1]   [2] [3]  [4]
[1] 0.1  2   0    3
[2] 50   3   3    1
[3] 100 1   1    0
[4] 100  2  2    0

0->0
0.1->1
2->2
3->3
50->4
100->5  (X=5)

is there any function for this? i have looked in several packages 
(vegan, labdsv etc.) because I am working with species by site tables, 
but without success. perhaps I looked for the wrong terms (rank matrix etc.)

thank you for your help

regards,
Jens
