sort the history located in file and save to outfile.
Usage
sortHistory(file="", outfile=file, hisname="")
Arguments
file
file name of saved history to sort.
outfile
file to save sorted history to.
hisname
name of active history widget and window it is located in, given
in the form WINDOW.HISTORY.
Details
After selecting a history to sort (either from given arguments, or interactive GUI)
the R data editor window will be displayed. The editor will have one column named
\"new\" which will have numbers 1,2,3,...,n. This represents the current ordering
of the history. You may change the numbers around to define a new order. The list
is sorted by reassigning the index in row i as index i.
For example, if the history had three items 1,2,3. Reordering this to 3,2,1 will
reverse the order; changing the list to 1,2,1,1 will remove entry 3 and
create two duplicates of entry 1.
