Sorting in Descending order
For sorting our dataframe in descending order, we will use desc() function along with the arrange() function. We will also use % operator for comparison of the dataframe column which we are taking for sorting purpose.
Example: Sorting the dataframe in descending order
R
library(dplyr) # Creating dataframe gfg = data.frame(Customers = c("Roohi", "James", "Satish", "Heera", "Sehnaaz", "Joe", "Raj", "Simran", "Priya", "Tejaswi"), Product = c("Product A", "Product B", "Product C", "Product A", "Product D", "Product B", "Product D", "Product C", "Product D", "Product A"), Salary = c(514.65, 354.99, 345.44, 989.56, 767.50, 576.90, 878.67, 904.56,123.45, 765.78)) # Sorting the dataframe in descending # order gfg %>% arrange(desc(Salary)) |
Output :
Sorting DataFrame in R using Dplyr
In this article, we will discuss about how to sort a dataframe in R programming language using Dplyr package. The package Dplyr in R programming language provides a function called arrange() function which is useful for sorting the dataframe.
Syntax :
arrange(.data, …)
The methods given below show how this function can be used in various ways to sort a dataframe.
