I've got a matrix with 2 columns and n rows. I need to sort it first by the values in column 1 ascending. Then for values which are the same in column 1, sort by column 2 decending. For example:
2 .5 1 .3 1 .5 3 .2 Goes to: 1 .5 1 .3 2 .5 3 .2 This is easy to do in spreadsheet programs but I can't seem to work out how to do it in R and haven't been able to find a solution anywhere. Thanks! -Paul. -- Paul Geeleher School of Mathematics, Statistics and Applied Mathematics National University of Ireland Galway Ireland ______________________________________________ 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.
