sort function (PR#9309)

Hallo!

In version 2.3.1 tha sort function applied to a vector trasposes it. This does
not happen in earlier versions. As a consequence, old programms don?t work in
newer versions.

Thanks!
Luis

What Luis probably means can be reproduced by this little example:

a<-5:1
b<-t(t(a))
b
sort(b)

In R 2.2.1 (Windows XP), sort(b) is a matrix with 1 column, like b. In R 2.4.0 (and presumably already 2.3.1), sort(b) is no longer a matrix but a vector (and displayed as a row).

Regards, Ulrike

Please read the FAQ how to report bugs. 

1. You are using an outdated version of R, please only report bugs of 
recent R versions. 
2. You have not given your OS. 
3. You have not given an example that reproduces the bug, my try does 
not transpose anything: 
 x <- 5:1 
 x 
 sort(x) 

So, please ....
