sort.list

The <code>sort.list</code> function from the <code>base</code> package is made generic in
the <code>splusTimeDate</code> package with methods for S4 classes:
<code>"numericSequence"</code>, <code>"positionsCalendar"</code>, and <code>"timeSpan"</code>.

internal

A collection of classes and methods for working with
times and dates. The code was originally available in 'S-PLUS'.

sort.list function

<dl> <dt>x</dt>
<dd>a vector or an object of class <code>"numericSequence"</code>, <code>"positionsCalendar"</code>, and <code>"timeSpan"</code>.</dd> <dt>partial</dt>
<dd>vector of indices for partial sorting. (Non-NULL values are not implemented.)</dd> <dt>na.last</dt>
<dd>for controlling the treatment of NAs.
If TRUE, missing values in the data are put last;
if FALSE, they are put first; if NA, they are removed.</dd> <dt>decreasing</dt>
<dd>a logical value.
If <code>TRUE</code> the sort order is decreasing .
The default is <code>FALSE</code>.</dd> <dt>method</dt>
<dd>a character value that specifies the method to be used,
partial matches are allowed.
The default ("auto") implies "radix"
for numeric vectors, integer vectors, logical vectors
and factors with fewer than 231231 elements.
Otherwise, it implies "shell".</dd></dl>
