[R] Placement of words in a word cloud as per its occurance.

A few points of order; you seem to be making a couple of rookie mistakes here. (Don't take it personally, lots of people do).

1) Posting in HTML comes across garbled (and it can get much worse than what you see below), so please configure you mail program to avoid doing that.

2) You seem to assume that we all immediately recognize the task you are working on and that there is a well-known and generally accepted methodology for which we just need to supply some detail that you have overlooked. In fact, the majority will be doing things in hundreds of different directions, and even those who are into wordclouds may be taking different approaches to it, there could be implementations in several packages, etc. Some people might be mildly interested in helping out (perhaps they want to make a wordcloud for themselves one day), but they would need to know what code you are using. As it stands, people are left wondering which function it might be that has an argument called random.order.
