[R] sorting means for plot in descending order (Luis Fernando Garc?a)

[Manel Amado Martí]

Re:

Try with sort() function
sort(x, decreasing = FALSE, ...)  As you can see, u can set the argument decreasing=TRUE, then, it'll sort by decreasing order.
For more details, call:
help(sort)  under R console

Dear R experts,

I am newbie on the R use, now I want to sort my data by mean in a
descending and not acending order (like I have done so far).  If any of you
could help me with this, it would be really appreciated!

Thanks!


Please find the script attached with the summary of the dat object


pt<-summarySE(dat, measurevar="Time", groupvars=("Prey"))#
