[R] Swap variables in data.frame

[Birgitle]

Thanks Paul.

I am not sure if I understood well, but when I do it then I have only two
columns left:

> L3 <- LETTERS[1:3]
> (d <- data.frame(cbind(x=1, y=1:10, z=11:20), fac=sample(L3, 10,
> replace=TRUE)))
   x  y  z fac
1  1  1 11   C
2  1  2 12   B
3  1  3 13   B
4  1  4 14   C
5  1  5 15   C
6  1  6 16   B
7  1  7 17   C
8  1  8 18   C
9  1  9 19   B
10 1 10 20   C
> d <- d[,c(2,1)]
> d
    y x
1   1 1
2   2 1
3   3 1
4   4 1
5   5 1
6   6 1
7   7 1
8   8 1
9   9 1
10 10 1

But I have more than two columns in my data.frame.
