Dear all,
<br>
<br>
<p>I would like to know if the following behaviour is what one would
expect ?
<br>(I am running R-1.2.3 (I know I'd better upgrade) under Linux).
<p>It seems a data.frame with only one column becomes a special case....
and
<br>I cannot figure out why (I'd see no problem in being told to rtfm,
I could not find
<br>anything about that in the help pages)
<br>
<p>> a <- data.frame(c(1:3),row.names=c("c","a","b"))
<br>> a
<br> c.1.3.
<br>c 1
<br>a 2
<br>b 3
<br>> a[order(row.names(a)),]
<br>[1] 2 3 1
<br>
<p>...kinda odd, especially since the following give what I'd expect....
<br>
<p>> a <- data.frame(cbind(c(1:3),c(3:5)),row.names=c("c","a","b"))
<br>> a
<br> X1 X2
<br>c 1 3
<br>a 2 4
<br>b 3 5
<br>> a[order(row.names(a)),]
<br> X1 X2
<br>a 2 4
<br>b 3 5
<br>c 1 3
<br>
<br>
<p>Cheers,
<br>
<p>Laurent
