reorder_by_priority

Reorders a vector so that any elements matching the values in <code>values</code>
appear first, in the order they appear in <code>values</code>. All remaining elements
are returned afterward, preserving their original order.

Provides a flexible alternative to the built-in rank() function called smartrank().
Optionally rank categorical variables by frequency (instead of in alphabetical order), and control whether ranking is based on descending/ascending order.
smartrank() is suitable for both numerical and categorical data.
