thanks for the feedback. I'm leaning the same way. I intend to but this and "generate random data" into a menu "Edit->Data" for the upcoming release, but move them back into "Data" once there are a few more. Having a top-level-menu for only two entries is a bit of a waste of space. > For "post release" (unless Thomas wants this implemented pre-release) > features: I would suggest allowing more variables to be selected for > ordering the data frame. Yes, true. The follow-up problem is that you may want to sort for "A" ascending and for "B" descending. Thus it should be possible to specify the sort order for each of the variables, separately. And we simply don't have a way to support this in the plugin GUI for an arbitrary number of variables, yet. Well, this is solvable, but not trivial. And it's what kept me from adding this right away. BTW, a similar feature would be nice in the scatterplot plugin, among others, to allow a more user-friendly way to specify separate line types/colors for each pair of variables. I'm thinking along the lines of <optionset foreach="id.of.source.variables"> <checkbox id="something".../> ... </optionset> > We could call it "rk.sort.data.frame" and add it to public.R. This might be a good idea, but let's wait until we actually start using it. The point is, we should keep the rkward-package to anything that is really needed to run RKWard, or specific to RKWard in any other way. Anything else can go into a separate package (BTW, no objections against starting one in our SVN). Regards Thomas
