Hi All, I have two data frames. The first contains data about a number of individuals, coded in the first column with a name, in an order I find convenient.
The second contains different data about the same indivduals, in a different order. Both data frame have the individual names in the first column. I need to reorder the second data frame so the rows are rearranged in the same manner as the fist. How? I cannot turn the individual names in a numeric vairable with as.numeric(data1[,1]), because the two data frames are subset of different data, so the the factor levels are way off between the two. I think I need to actually use the names as a index. Cheers, Fede -- Federico C. F.
