dplyr - arrange () according to two criteria per group

Question

I have hourly weather collected for hundreds of farms for a period of five weeks before a sampling event. I want to determine the average Air_Temp for the three weeks prior to t

Answer 1

group_by shouldn't be necessary for this, it's typically used for when you are looking to perform some kind of aggregate on your data. The arrange will sort first by the File, then by the Date within each file, then by the Hour within each Date. This should get you the structure you're looking for.

Weather1 <- Weather%>%
            arrange(File, Date, Hour)
