Hi List

I'm running a series of mixed models using lme, and I wonder if there  
is a way to sort them by AIC prior to testing using anova 
(lme1,lme2,lme3,....lme7) other than by hand.

My current output looks like this.

anova 
(lme.T97NULL.ml,lme.T97FULL.ml,lme.T97NOINT.ml,lme.T972way.ml,lme.T97fc. 
ml, lme.T97ns.ml, lme.T97min.ml)


                 Model df      AIC      BIC    logLik   Test    
L.Ratio p-value
lme.T97NULL.ml      1  3 624.3053 635.0671 -309.1527
lme.T97FULL.ml      2 14 508.7594 558.9809 -240.3797 1 vs 2  
137.54588  <.0001
lme.T97NOINT.ml     3  7 564.8574 589.9682 -275.4287 2 vs 3

lme.T972way.ml      4 12 507.0991 550.1461 -241.5496 3 vs 4

lme.T97fc.ml        5  9 502.5878 534.8730 -242.2939 4 vs 5

lme.T97ns.ml        6  8 504.8971 533.5951 -244.4485 5 vs 6    
4.30928  0.0379
lme.T97min.ml       7  6 569.8188 591.3423 -278.9094 6 vs 7
