Order Character Vector Alphabetically in R Programming (Example Code)

This tutorial demonstrates how to order a character vector in R.

Example Data

my_vec <- c("x", "x", "y", "w", "a", "x", "a", "x")  # Constructing a character vector
my_vec
# [1] "x" "x" "y" "w" "a" "x" "a" "x"

Example: Applying sort() Function to Order a Character Vector Alphabetically

my_vec_ordered <- sort(my_vec)                       # Sorting vector alphabetically
my_vec_ordered
#[1] "a" "a" "w" "x" "x" "x" "x" "y"
