arrange: Order matrix elements based on rownames and/or colnames
In futile.matrix: Random Matrix Generation and Manipulation

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples

This is a convenience function for ordering rows and columns within a matrix.

1	arrange(m, order.rows = TRUE, order.cols = TRUE, comparator = NULL)

`m`	A matrix whose rows and/or columns are to be arranged
`order.rows`	Whether rows are to be ordered. Defaults to TRUE
`order.cols`	Whether columns are to be ordered. Defaults to TRUE
`comparator`	A function to define the ordering. Currently unused

To ensure proper operations are performed, the ordering of rows and columns within matrix operands must be consistent. Arrange conveniently performs this ordering.

In the future, a comparator will be added so that custom orderings can be applied to the function.

A matrix whose rows and/or columns have been ordered. By default, both rows and columns are ordered.
