I am running R version 1.7.1 on 3 different operating systems: Linux RedHat, Linux Slackware, and Windows 2000.
R is ordering alpha-numeric character strings in different ways, dependent on the operating system. R orders strings exactly the same on Slackware and Windows, and this ordering corresponds to SPlus. It's the RedHat that is creating the problem. On Slackware, Windows, and SPlus: " "<"1" [1] TRUE > " 1"<"10" [1] TRUE > " 2"<"10" [1] TRUE On RedHat " "<"1" [1] TRUE > " 1" < "10" [1] TRUE > " 2" < "10" [1] FALSE Similarly, on Slackware, Windows and SPlus >"2"<"-" [1] FALSE > "23"<"-3" [1] FALSE On RedHat > "2"<"-" [1] FALSE > "23"<"-3" [1] TRUE Is this a RedHat problem or an R problem?
