[R] Help converting a data.frame to ordered factors

[Rob Cassidy]

Hi again,
Now that I have the data.frame as ordered factors, when I try to transpose
it, I lose the factor orders.

> datfact<-data.frame(c1,c2,c96)
> sapply(datfact, class)
     c1        c2        c96      
[1,] "ordered" "ordered" "ordered"
[2,] "factor"  "factor"  "factor" 
>
> dafacT<-as.data.frame(t(datfact))
> sapply(datfacT,class)
   item1    item2    item3    item4   ...
"factor" "factor" "factor" "factor" ...
>

Is there a simple way to re-impose ordering on the transposed df? or
alternatively to transpose the df without losing the ordering?

Many thanks,
Robert
