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.
