Hi, For example, the data.frame like:
origdata.long <- read.table(header=T, con <- textConnection(' subject sex condition measurement 1 M control 7.9 1 M first 12.3 1 M second 10.7 2 F control 6.3 2 F first 10.6 2 F second 11.1 3 F control 9.5 3 F first 13.1 3 F second 13.8 4 M control 11.5 4 M first 13.4 4 M second 12.9 ')) close(con) Given a vector c('first', 'second', 'control), how can I reshape the data.frame to this? # subject sex first second control # 1 M 12.3 10.7 7.9 # 2 F 10.6 11.1 6.3 # 3 F 13.1 13.8 9.5 # 4 M 13.4 12.9 11.5 I know reshape() can transform the data.frame from long to wide, but it seems not able to control the order of the columns.
