You are right Andy,

I just found on the archives soon after I tried searching for a second
time.

Sorry

Just as easy in R, if not easier.  Something like:

dat[order(dat$col1, dat$col2), ]
 
> I have searched in the R help archives and found nothing.

This has been asked (and answered) numerous times on this list.  There
was a
function posted for Kevin Wright that implements a formula interface
for
sorting data frames.
