is.unsorted: Test if an Object is Not Sorted

Description

Test if an object is not sorted (in increasing order), without the cost of sorting it.

Usage

is.unsorted(x, na.rm = FALSE, strictly = FALSE)

Arguments

x

an R object with a class or a numeric, complex, character or logical vector.

na.rm

logical. Should missing values be removed before checking?

strictly

logical indicating if the check should be for strictly increasing values.

Value

A length-one logical value. All objects of length 0 or 1 are sorted: the result will be NA for objects of length 2 or more except for atomic vectors and objects with a class (where the >= or > method is used to compare x[i] with x[i-1] for i in 2:length(x)).
