Joel - Suppose the columns are named x1, x2, x3, x4, and x5.
You can use subscripting: x[c('x2','x4','x1','x3','x5')] or, to save typing the quotes subset(x,select=c(x2,x4,x1,x3,x5)) - Phil Spector Statistical Computing Facility Department of Statistics UC Berkeley spec...@stat.berkeley.edu On Fri, 23 Oct 2009, Joel Fürstenberg-Hägg wrote:
Hi all, Probably a simple question, but I just can't find a simple answear in the older threads or anywhere else. I've added some new vectors as columns in a data frame using cbind(). As they're all put as the last columns inte the data frame, I would like to move them to specific positions. How do you do to change the position of a column in a data frame? I know I can use fieldTrial0809=data.frame(Sample_ID=as.factor(fieldTrial0809$Sample_ID), Plant_ID=as.factor(fieldTrial0809$Plant_ID), ...) to create a new data frame with the given columns in the specified order, but there must be an easier way..?
