Arrange Rows by Variables

Sort a SparkDataFrame by the specified column(s).

Usage

arrange(x, col, ...)

# S4 method for SparkDataFrame,Column
arrange(x, col, ..., withinPartitions = FALSE)

# S4 method for SparkDataFrame,character
arrange(x, col, ..., decreasing = FALSE, withinPartitions = FALSE)

# S4 method for SparkDataFrame,characterOrColumn
orderBy(x, col, ...)

Arguments

x

a SparkDataFrame to be sorted.

col

a character or Column object indicating the fields to sort on

...

additional sorting fields

withinPartitions

a logical argument indicating whether to sort only within each partition

decreasing

a logical argument indicating sorting order for columns when a character vector is specified for col

Value

A SparkDataFrame where all elements are sorted.
