Hi, I'm trying to _independantly_ sort the columns of a data frame. Using:
varespec[sort.list(varespec[,1]),]
the columns are sorted *by the first row*. How would I modify this so that all columns are sorted independantly (the result being *all* columns are rearranged from smallest to biggest not just the first)? Cheers, Jeremy

Apply the sort rather than using sort.list. varespec <- data.frame(lapply(varespec, sort))
