Thank  you for the response. As expected, the following expression worked:
    df[order(df$x),]
I would expect the following expression to work also:
        df[order(df$x)]
However it does not. That is, the comma is needed. Please tell me why the comma is there.

Thanks
Bob

In R, I run the following commands:

      df2 = df[order(x),]
You use another x from your workspace, you actually want to


   df2 = df[order(df[,"x"]),]
or
df[order(df$x),]

And just to prevent yet more confusion, you might also want to avoid 'df' as a 
name. 'df' is the function that returns the density of the F distribution ...
