I have a date-like-vector like : > date_file "10-02-2008" "10-03-2008" "10-06-2008" "10-07-2008" "10-09-2008" "10-10-2008" "10-13-2008" "10-14-2008" "10-15-2008" "10-16-2008" "10-17-2008" "10-20-2008" "10-21-2008" "10-22-2008" "10-23-2008" "10-24-2008" "10-28-2008" "10-29-2008" "10-30-2008" "10-31-2008" "11-03-2008" "11-04-2008" "11-05-2008" "11-06-2008" "11-07-2008" "11-10-2008" "11-11-2008" "11-12-2008" "11-13-2008" "11-14-2008" "11-17-2008" "11-18-2008" "11-19-2008" "11-20-2008" "11-21-2008" "11-24-2008" "11-25-2008" "11-26-2008" "11-28-2008" "12-01-2008" "12-02-2008" "12-03-2008" "12-04-2008" "12-05-2008" "12-08-2008" "12-09-2008" "12-10-2008" "12-11-2008" "12-12-2008" "12-15-2008" "4-18-2008" "4-21-2008" "4-22-2008" "4-23-2008" "4-24-2008" "4-28-2008" "4-29-2008" "5-01-2008" "5-05-2008" "5-06-2008" "5-07-2008" "5-09-2008" "5-12-2008" "5-13-2008" "5-14-2008" "5-15-2008" "5-16-2008" "5-19-2008" "5-20-2008" "5-21-2008" "5-22-2008" "5-23-2008" "5-27-2008" "5-28-2008" "5-29-2008" "5-30-2008" "6-02-2008" "6-03-2008" "6-05-2008" "6-06-2008" "6-09-2008" "6-10-2008" "6-11-2008" "6-12-2008" "6-13-2008" "6-17-2008" "6-18-2008" "6-19-2008" "6-20-2008" "6-23-2008" "6-24-2008" "6-25-2008" "6-26-2008" "6-27-2008" "7-01-2008" "7-02-2008" "7-04-2008" "7-07-2008" "7-08-2008" "7-09-2008" "7-10-2008" "7-11-2008" "7-15-2008" "7-16-2008" "7-18-2008" "7-21-2008" "7-22-2008" "7-23-2008" "7-24-2008" "7-25-2008" "7-28-2008" "7-30-2008" "7-31-2008" "8-01-2008" "8-04-2008" "8-05-2008" "8-06-2008" "8-07-2008" "8-08-2008" "8-11-2008" "8-12-2008" "8-13-2008" "8-15-2008" "8-18-2008" "8-19-2008" "8-20-2008" "8-21-2008" "8-22-2008" "8-25-2008" "8-26-2008" "8-27-2008" "8-28-2008" "8-29-2008" "9-03-2008" "9-04-2008" "9-05-2008" "9-08-2008" "9-09-2008" "9-10-2008" "9-11-2008" "9-12-2008" "9-15-2008" "9-16-2008" "9-17-2008" "9-18-2008" "9-19-2008" "9-22-2008" "9-23-2008" "9-24-2008" "9-25-2008" "9-26-2008" "9-29-2008" "9-30-2008"
I wanted to sort this in ascending order. I tried using simply sort() function, without altering the format of date, but it didnot work. Next I tried to convert that vector in a date-class vector so that, I could sort them but in vein :( I used : as.Date(date_file, format="%m/%d/%y") However it did not work. Can anyone please tell me what would be correct approach? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Sorting-a-date-vector-tp21032540p21032540.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
