Subject: Help converting a data.frame to ordered factors
In-Reply-To: <1304435186239-3492705.post@n4.nabble.com>
Hi again,
Now that I have the data.frame as ordered factors, when I try to transpose
it, I lose the factor orders.
> datfact<-data.frame(c1,c2,c96)
> sapply(datfact, class)
c1 c2 c96
[1,] "ordered" "ordered" "ordered"
[2,] "factor" "factor" "factor"
>
> dafacT<-as.data.frame(t(datfact))
> sapply(datfacT,class)
item1 item2 item3 item4 ...
"factor" "factor" "factor" "factor" ...

Is there a simple way to re-impose ordering on the transposed df? or
alternatively to transpose the df without losing the ordering?
Many thanks,
Robert
