Order and sort vectors

Order and sort vectors

vec_order(x, direction = c("asc", "desc"), na_value = c("largest", "smallest"))

vec_sort(x, direction = c("asc", "desc"), na_value = c("largest", "smallest"))

Arguments

x	A vector
direction	Direction to sort in. Defaults to ascending.
na_value	Should NAs be treated as the largest or smallest values?

Value

• vec_order() an integer vector the same size as x.

• vec_sort() a vector with the same size and type as x.

Examples

x <- round(c(runif(9), NA), 3)
vec_order(x)
#>  [1]  4  3  9  6  7  5  8  1  2 10
vec_sort(x)
#>  [1] 0.359 0.500 0.567 0.584 0.634 0.775 0.859 0.888 0.996    NA
vec_sort(x, "desc")
#>  [1]    NA 0.996 0.888 0.859 0.775 0.634 0.584 0.567 0.500 0.359

# Can also handle data frames
df <- data.frame(g = sample(2, 10, replace = TRUE), x = x)
vec_order(df)
#>  [1]  4  3  6  7  1  2  9  5  8 10
vec_sort(df)
#>    g     x
#> 1  1 0.359
#> 2  1 0.500
#> 3  1 0.584
#> 4  1 0.634
#> 5  1 0.888
#> 6  1 0.996
#> 7  2 0.567
#> 8  2 0.775
#> 9  2 0.859
#> 10 2    NA
vec_sort(df, "desc")
#>    g     x
