Change that column to be a factor with the levels in the order that you
wish.
dataFrame$column - factor(dataFrame$column, levels=c(1:150, S, Z))
Then it will sort in that order. E.g.,
d - data.frame(One=c(5,21,10,Z,S,9), Two=2^(1:6))
d[order(d$One),]
One Two
3 10 8
2 21 4
1 5 2
6 9 64
5 S 32
4 Z 16
d$One - factor(d$One, levels=c(1:150,S,Z))
d[order(d$One),]
One Two
1 5 2
6 9 64
3 10 8
2 21 4
5 S 32
4 Z 16

Hi,
I would like to sort a data frame by a column, the column to sort by has a
list of numbers 1:150 (a few numbers are missing so the total is 137) and
two letters S , Z. How can I sort it so that first I have the numbers
in running order (1,2,3,...150) and then the letters S and Z?
the column class is factor
[1] 1 10 100 101 102 104 105 106 107 108 109 11 110 111 113 114 115
116
[19] 117 118 119 12 120 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 134
135
[37] 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 15 150 16
