ft_combine: Combine Two Vectors of Unequal Lengths and Sort Based on Specified Levels

Description

Combines two vectors, which may be of unequal lengths, into a factor vector and sorts based on the levels of either the first or second vector.

Usage

ft_combine(vector1, vector2, sort_by = 1, decreasing = FALSE)

Value

A factor vector combining both vectors and sorted based on specified levels.

Arguments

vector1

The first vector to combine.

vector2

The second vector to combine.

sort_by

An integer (1 or 2) indicating which vector's levels to use for sorting. Default is 1.

decreasing

Logical. Should the sorting be in decreasing order? Default is FALSE.

Examples

# Example vectors of unequal lengths
vector1 <- c('apple', 'banana', 'cherry')
vector2 <- c('date', 'fig', 'grape', 'honeydew')

# Combine and sort based on vector1 levels
combined_factor1 <- ft_combine(vector1, vector2, sort_by = 1)
print(combined_factor1)

# Combine and sort based on vector2 levels
combined_factor2 <- ft_combine(vector1, vector2, sort_by = 2)
print(combined_factor2)

# Combine with decreasing order based on vector1
combined_factor3 <- ft_combine(vector1, vector2, sort_by = 1, decreasing = TRUE)
print(combined_factor3)
