Hi But in your example there are no row names? How would you structure the result? Each column has different order and therefore each column shall have different sequence of row names?
Send also your responses to r-help as somebody could have better answer for you. Regards Petr From: Nico Met [mailto:nicome...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2012 4:56 PM To: PIKAL Petr Subject: Re: [R] Sorting of columns of a matrix Thanks a lot. But I also want to attach row names (if available) associated with each column. In that case does your second code works in the same way? thanks Animesh On Wed, Aug 29, 2012 at 4:46 PM, PIKAL Petr <petr.pi...@precheza.cz<mailto:petr.pi...@precheza.cz>> wrote: Hi > -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org<mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org> > [mailto:r-help-bounces@r-<mailto:r-help-bounces@r-> > project.org<http://project.org>] On Behalf Of Nico Met > Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2012 4:25 PM > To: Berend Hasselman > Cc: r-help@r-project.org<mailto:r-help@r-project.org> > Subject: Re: [R] Sorting of columns of a matrix > > Please find the require info: > > > set.seed(12345) > X<-matrix(rnorm(5*10),nrow=5) > <snip> > > X[2,5]<-0 > X[3,1]<-0 > X[5,8]<-0 <snip> > > dput(X) > > structure(c(0.585528817843856, 0.709466017509524, 0, - > 0.453497173462763, 0.605887455840393, -1.81795596770373, > 0.630098551068391, -0.276184105225216, -0.284159743943371, - > 0.919322002474128, -0.116247806352002, 1.81731204370422, > 0.370627864257954, 0.520216457554957, -0.750531994502331, > 0.816899839520583, -0.886357521243213, -0.331577589942552, > 1.12071265166956, 0.298723699267293, 0.779621924555324, 0, - > 0.644328429231302, -1.55313740522969, -1.59770951669631, > 1.80509751881082, -0.481647363694637, 0.620379801298422, > 0.612123492650849, -0.162310976918126, 0.81187317855386, > 2.19683354634753, 2.04919033740619, 1.63244563948047, > 0.254271192814055, 0.491188279272559, -0.324086578737118, - > 1.66205024385863, 1.76773385087297, 0, 1.12851083359018, - > 2.38035806139704, -1.06026555215253, 0.937140540182908, > 0.854451720330554, 1.46072940310409, -1.4130987778892, > 0.567403253424482, 0.583187653435685, -1.30679883346442), .Dim = c(5L, > 10L)) > I am not sure what do you want to do with it? Remove rows which has 0 X[X==0]<-NA X[complete.cases(X),] remove zeroes and sort values independently in each column? X[X==0]<-NA apply(X, 2, sort, decreasing=TRUE) results in list as you have various number of values in columns.
