which has such an example, and points out another example is in
demo(glm.vr).

Dear community, can anyone provide a snippet of code to force the lm() to fit a model with terms in the formula in an arbitrary order? I am interested in something like: lm(y ~ A * B + C, data=data) where the interaction of A and B should be in the formula before C. My goal is to simplify my presentation of models using the anova() statement. I have found that this should be possible using the terms.formula() function, but if anyone has an example that would be much appreciated.
