Ordering multiple vectors dynamic

[selkamand]

Hi,

Is there an equivalent to order() in base R that works with data.frames that have an arbitrary number of columns

For example say I have a dataframe

df = data.frame(
  col1 = c(1, 1, 2, 3),
  col2 = c(2, 1,3, 4)
)

# I could get a heirarchical order using the `order` function
order(df$col1, df$col2)
#> [1] 2 1 3 4

# But what if i want to turn this into a function where we don't need to know the number of columns in advanced?
order_dataframe <- function(df){
    # what goes here to produce the same output as the above call to `order`?
}

order_dataframe <- function(df){
  do.call(order,df)
}

@nirgrahamuk

do.call(order,df)

Thanks @nirgrahamuk! Thats exactly what I was after
