I am starting with a matrix in which rows are vegetation plots and columns are various characteristics including ID# and elevation. I removed elevation and ID columns to avoid having those characteristics influence the distances between points which I calculated using the "dist" command. The resulting distance file was then used in isoMDS. What I want to know is whether I can reattach the ID and elevation onto the point location information given from isoMDS? or is it possible that the order given in the isoMDS output is not the same as the order of the original data used to calculate distances?
