[R] Incorrect order

I am using the order function and the result seems to be incorrect: > a<-c(20,30,15,40) > order(a) [1] 3 1 2 4 Any suggestions? Thanks, Laura -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Incorrect-order-tp20224993p20224993.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.c

Re: [R] Incorrect order

What's wrong with that result? you should look at the result as: first take the 3th element of a, then the first one, than the second one and then the fourth. if you do a[order(a)] then you get 15,20,30,40. I suppose you expected: rank(a) [1] 2 3 1 4 Good luck Bart lll73 wrote: > > > I am
