[R] how to sort and plot data?

[David Winsemius]

Try looking at the examples in :
?order

perhaps:

dta.frm[order(user_id), ]


   .... especially the one that demonstrates how to sort dataframes  
with three indices. And if that does not satisfy your needs, then you  
absolutely must provide a simple example and an explicit layout of  
what the output should look like.
