I don't follow why this happens:
> sort(c(LETTERS[1:5], letters[1:5]))
[1] "a" "A" "b" "B" "c" "C" "d" "D" "e" "E"
The help for sort() says:
method: character string specifying the algorithm used. Not
available for partial sorting. Can be abbreviated.
But what are the methods available? The help mentions xtfrm but that
doesn't illuminate, I'd have thought that at least by default it would
have something to do with ASCII codes. But that's not the case since
all the uppercase ones would be before the lowercase ones.
I know something different is happening but I don't know what it is
(do you, Mr Jones?). Apologies to Bob Dylan.
