[R-sig-finance] Sorting

[Sean O'Riordain]

Good Morning Lorenzo,

I had a look at ?sort and it said "For ordering along more than one
variable, e.g., for sorting data frames, see 'order'." So I had a look
at ?order... and popped down to the examples and it talks about
ordering a dataframe - not the clearest of examples, but hey :-) 
Sometimes the obvious is the hardest to see :-)

cheers!
Sean
