Hi there!
I need some assistance here with vector orderings. I have a set
of q vectors of length p, grouped by rows in a matrix A, q?p, that I
need to order lexicographically
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicographical_order).
I also have another matrix B, p?r, and a vector c, that should
be ordered according to the order of A. So far, I was doing
ordering <- apply(A, 2, order)[,1]
A <- A[ordering,]
B <- B[ordering,]
c <- c[ordering]
But now I realize that this way I'm ordering by considering only
the first dimension of the vectors in A, i.e., not considering the case
where there are ties amongst this first dimension. Does anyone have a
clue about properly applying the lexicographical ordering? Thanks in
advance!
