[R] Specifying the ordering of a vector

Hi, 

I'm trying to create a vector (or matrix row) with a specific ordering. For
example, I have the following vector:

x<-c(0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6) 

that has order

order(x)
[1] 1 2 3 4 5 6

I want another vector that has the same values as x, but with a different
ordering. For example, I want y to have values 0.1, 0.2, etc. but in the
order 1-2-5-6-3-4. The answer would be

y
[1] 0.1 0.2 0.5 0.6 0.3 0.4

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
