It seems that rank doesn't work right on vectors containing negative values.
If the negative value is the first component or there are only two components,
it works, but if the negative value is somewhere in the middle there's a
problem.
Here are my examples:
> # wrong:
> x<- c(2,-5,1,3);x
[1] 2 -5 1 3
> rank(x)
[1] 3 1 2 4
> x[rank(x)]
[1] 1 2 -5 3
>
> # but this works:
> y<- c(-5,2,1,3);y
[1] -5 2 1 3
> rank(y)
[1] 1 3 2 4
> y[rank(y)]
[1] -5 1 2 3
> z <- c(3,-5);z
[1] 3 -5
> rank(z)
[1] 2 1
> z[rank(z)]
[1] -5 3
