Example 5-74 Arranging Columns

This example arranges columns from the ore.frame object MTCARS that is created by using the ore.push function on the mtcars data.frame object. The second arrange() invocation calls the desc() function to arrange the values in descending order.

MTCARS <- ore.push(mtcars)
head(arrange(mtcars, cyl, disp))
head(arrange(MTCARS, desc(disp)))

Listing for This Example

R> MTCARS <- ore.push(mtcars)
R> head(arrange(MTCARS, cyl, disp))
