Hi: u <- matrix(sample(LETTERS[1:24]), nrow = 8) u [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] "W" "J" "M" [2,] "K" "V" "P" [3,] "X" "E" "U" [4,] "T" "B" "N" [5,] "I" "Q" "F" [6,] "G" "R" "S" [7,] "A" "C" "O" [8,] "D" "H" "L"
t(apply(u, 1, function(x) sort(x))) [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] "J" "M" "W" [2,] "K" "P" "V" [3,] "E" "U" "X" [4,] "B" "N" "T" [5,] "F" "I" "Q" [6,] "G" "R" "S" [7,] "A" "C" "O" [8,] "D" "H" "L" HTH, Dennis On Thu, Feb 3, 2011 at 7:57 AM, sudhir cr <sudhir...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > > > I have data like this.... > > > > print(x) > > > > ID VAL1 VAL2 > > 1 B A > > 2 P Q > > 3 T S > > > > What I would like is data like this... > > > > ID VAL1 VAL2 > > 1 A B > > 2 P Q > > 3 S T > > > > > > So that VAL1 and VAL2 are alphabetically ordered. > > > > Any advice is welcome! > > > > San. > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
