roworder.Rd
A fast substitute for dplyr::arrange
. It returns a sorted copy of the data frame, unless the data is already sorted in which case no copy is made. In addition, rows can be manually re-ordered. Use data.table::setorder
to sort a data frame without creating a copy.
roworder(X, ..., na.last = TRUE)
roworderv(X, cols = NULL, neworder = NULL, decreasing = FALSE,
na.last = TRUE, pos = "front")
a data frame or list of equal-length columns.
comma-separated columns of X
to sort by e.g. var1, var2
. Negatives i.e. -var1, var2
can be used to sort in decreasing order of var1
.
select columns to sort by using a function, column names, indices or a logical vector. The default NULL
sorts by all columns in order of occurrence (from left to right).
logical. If TRUE
, missing values in the sorting columns are placed last; if FALSE
, they are placed first; if NA
they are removed (argument passed to radixorderv
).
logical. Should the sort order be increasing or decreasing? Can also be a vector of length equal to the number of arguments in cols
(argument passed to radixorderv
).
an ordering vector, can be < nrow(X)
. if pos = "front"
or pos = "end"
, a logical vector can also be supplied. This argument overwrites cols
.
integer or character. Different arrangement options if !is.null(neworder) && length(neworder) < nrow(X)
.
Int. | String | Description | ||
1 | "front" | move rows in neworder to the front (top) of X (the default). | ||
2 | "end" | move rows in neworder to the end (bottom) of X . | ||
3 | "exchange" | just exchange the order of rows in neworder , other rows remain in the same position. | ||
4 | "after" | place all further selected rows behind the first selected row. |
A copy of X
with rows reordered. If X
is already sorted, X
is simply returned.
If you don't require a copy of the data, use data.table::setorder
(you can also use it in a piped call as it invisibly returns the data).
roworder(v)
has internal facilities to deal with indexed data.
