I try to disable alphabetical sorting of the variable names but I fail, R
Commander does not store any changes made in the  "Commander Options" menu /
window. I tried to insert "options(sort.names = FALSE)" in Rprofile.site and
.Rprofile config files but without success. Does anyone know the solution?

Dear Iurie Malai,

How Rcmdr options are set is described in ?Commander, which is also
accessible via the R Commander menus, "Help -> Commander help". You need

  options(Rcmdr=list(sort.names=FALSE))

which you can put in Rprofile.site.

Best,
 John
