I have a data.frame that was built from a number of smaller
data.frames with rbind. Each ssmaller data.frame bound together runs
over the same date ranges. The format of the whole thing looks like
this:
Trade PosType EnDate EnTime ExDate ExTime PL_Pos
1 1 1 1040107 915 1040107 1300 164
2 2 1 1040108 909 1040108 1300 184
3 3 1 1040115 921 1040115 1300 64
4 4 1 1040120 1134 1040120 1300 124
5 5 1 1040121 923 1040121 1300 84
6 6 1 1040205 1043 1040205 1300 -196
I would like to sort the new data.frame using column 3, EnDate from
lowest to highest. How do I do this?
The help file example section for ?sort doesn't seem to have any
examples of doing this by column so I'm wondering if this is the done
with some other command I haven't discovered, or am I just missing the
obvious at 7:30PM on a Friday night?
Thanks,
Mark
