Source: R/reorder_vector.R
reorder_vector.Rd

Returns an integer vector to order vector x according to vector y.

Usage

reorder_vector(x, y, na_last = NA)

Arguments

x

(vector()).

y

(vector()).

na_last

(logical(1))
What to do with values in x which are not in y?

  • NA: Extra values are removed.

  • FALSE: Extra values are moved to the beginning of the new vector.

  • TRUE: Extra values are moved to the end of the new vector.

Value

(integer()).

Examples

# x subset of y
x = c("b", "a", "c", "d")
y = letters
x[reorder_vector(x, y)]
#> [1] "a" "b" "c" "d"

# y subset of x
y = letters[1:3]
x[reorder_vector(x, y)]
#> [1] "a" "b" "c"
x[reorder_vector(x, y, na_last = TRUE)]
#> [1] "a" "b" "c" "d"
x[reorder_vector(x, y, na_last = FALSE)]
#> [1] "d" "a" "b" "c"
