I asked the same question a few weeks ago. See http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/11/6775.html

If I do summary(df1$X1) -> df1.y df1.y a b c d e [1,] 50.74627 8.955224 17.91045 19.40299 2.985075 sort(df1.y) a b c d e [1,] 2.985075 8.955224 17.91045 19.40299 50.74627 my numbers are sorted but do not anymore correspond to the rownames. For me it is counterintuitive that solely the numbers are sorted and not the names. Is there a way to sort names + numbers or is this behaviour of sort() unintended?
