Dear all,
I am still a R apprentice... Apologies for the basic question.
I am trying to reshape a dataframe based on the order of two variables
(a character variable and a numerical variable). To simplify it,
consider the following dataframe
> df<-data.frame(id=c("b","b","a","a","a"),ord=c(2,1,1,3,2))
id ord
1 b 2
2 b 1
3 a 1
4 a 3
5 a 2
I want to reshape it such that it results in this dataframe ("id"
alphabetically ordered and ranked according to the "ord" order)
df1<-data.frame(id=c("a","a","a","b","b"),ord=c(1,2,3,1,2))
id ord
1 a 1
2 a 2
3 a 3
4 b 1
5 b 2
Thanks in advance,
Duarte Viana
