Ahhh, the double for loop, the semicolon, the return call. you still believe in R code looking like C don't you. Try this one : matrix.sort2 <- function(M, fun = function(m) colSums(abs(m)) ){ M[or <- order(fun(M) , decreasing=T), or] } Romain -- visit the R Graph Gallery : http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques mixmod 1.7 is released : http://www-math.univ-fcomte.fr/mixmod/index.php +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Romain FRANCOIS - http://francoisromain.free.fr | | Doctorant INRIA Futurs / EDF | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
