In R, I run the following commands:
df = data.frame( x=runif(10), y=runif(10) )
df2 = df[order(x),]
You use another x from your workspace, you actually want to
df2 = df[order(df[,"x"]),]

The first, as I would expect, creates a data frame with two columns and
10 rows. I expect the second to sort the data based upon
the columns x and produce a new data frame, df2, with the same size as
df. However, the data frame is produces is much larger.
I do not understand what is going on. I am hoping somebody can help me.
I am also wondering if I should have a comma after
order(x) in the second statement. I do not see a purpose for it but it
was in an example on the web.
Thanks
Bob
