Details

The function returns the data from the input data frame with the most relevant information for acoustic analysis located in the first columns. The priority order for column names is: "sound.files", "channel", "selec", "start", "end", "top.freq", and "bottom.freq".

Examples

library(warbleR)
data("selec.table")

# mess column order
selec.table <- selec.table[, sample(1:ncol(selec.table))] 
 
 #check names
 names(selec.table)
 
 selec.table <- sort_colms(X = selec.table)

 #check names again
 names(selec.table)
