How do you sort data in the R language?

In R language, you can use the sort() function to arrange data. By default, the sort() function will sort data in ascending order.

Here are some examples of sorting:

1. Sort the vectors.

# 创建一个向量
x <- c(5, 2, 8, 1, 9)

# 对向量进行排序
sorted_x <- sort(x)
print(sorted_x)

Output:

[1] 1 2 5 8 9

1. Sorting the columns of a matrix:

# 创建一个矩阵
matrix <- matrix(c(5, 2, 8, 1, 9, 4), nrow = 3, ncol = 2)

# 对矩阵的第一列进行排序
sorted_matrix <- matrix[order(matrix[,1]), ]
print(sorted_matrix)

Output:

     [,1] [,2]
[1,]    1    9
[2,]    2    2
[3,]    5    8

1. Sorting columns of a data frame:

# 创建一个数据框
df <- data.frame(name = c("Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"), age = c(25, 30, 20))

# 按照年龄对数据框进行排序
sorted_df <- df[order(df$age), ]
print(sorted_df)

Output:

     name age
3 Charlie  20
1   Alice  25
2     Bob  30

Note that by using the order() function, you can obtain the sorted index to sort the data accordingly.
