[R] Specifying the ordering of a vector

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. In the example I gave in the original post, your code
works. But for others, it doesn't and I'm not sure why it works for some
cases and not for others. For example:

x<-c(0.04,0.07,0.20,0.35,0.55,0.70)
order(x)
[1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 

Let's say I want y to be in the order 1-2-5-3-6-4. So I do:

y<-x[c(1,2,5,3,6,4)]
y
[1] 0.04 0.07 0.55 0.20 0.70 0.35
order(y)
[1] 1 2 4 6 3 5

So, y isn't in the order I want it to be in. Any help that can be provided
would be greatly appreciated.
