Order a SpatVector using column values — arrange.SpatVector • tidyterra

arrange.SpatVector() orders the geometries of a SpatVector by the values of selected columns.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'SpatVector'
arrange(.data, ..., .by_group = FALSE, .locale = NULL)

Arguments

.data

A SpatVector created with terra::vect().

...

<data-masking> Variables, or functions of variables. Use desc() to sort a variable in descending order.

.by_group

If TRUE, will sort first by grouping variable. Applies to grouped SpatVector only.

.locale

The locale to sort character vectors in.

If NULL, the default, uses the "C" locale unless the deprecated dplyr.legacy_locale global option escape hatch is active. See the dplyr-locale help page for more details.
If a single string from stringi::stri_locale_list() is supplied, then this will be used as the locale to sort with. For example, "en" will sort with the American English locale. This requires the stringi package.
If "C" is supplied, then character vectors will always be sorted in the C locale. This does not require stringi and is often much faster than supplying a locale identifier.

The C locale is not the same as English locales, such as "en", particularly when it comes to data containing a mix of upper and lower case letters. This is explained in more detail on the locale help page under the Default locale section.

Value

A SpatVector object.

terra equivalent

terra::sort()

Methods

Implementation of the generic dplyr::arrange() function for SpatVector class.
