[R] where this Error comes from?

[William Dunlap]

Call traceback() after seeing the error message.
E.g.,
  > factor(list(1, 2:3, 4:6))
  Error in sort.list(y) : 'x' must be atomic for 'sort.list'
  Have you called 'sort' on a list?
  > traceback()
  3: stop("'x' must be atomic for 'sort.list'\nHave you called 'sort' on a list?")
  2: sort.list(y)
  1: factor(list(1, 2:3, 4:6))
