I have a data frame like this:
x=c(\"01\",\"01\",\"01\",\"22\",\"22\",\"03\",\"03\",\"03\",\"35\",\"35\") y=c(\"f\",\"f\",\"f\",\"m\",\"m\",\"m\",\"m\",\"m\"
df2 = df[!duplicated(df), ] # Remove duplicated rows. df3 = df2[order(df2$spn), ] # Sort by the spn column. df3 # spn sex #1 01 f #6 03 m #4 22 m #9 35 f
