R: Sort a Spark DataFrame

sdf_sort {sparklyr} | R Documentation

## Sort a Spark DataFrame

### Description

Sort a Spark DataFrame by one or more columns, with each column sorted in ascending order.

### Usage

    sdf_sort(x, columns)

### Arguments

`x` | An object coercable to a Spark DataFrame.
`columns` | The column(s) to sort by.

### Transforming Spark DataFrames

The family of functions prefixed with `sdf_` generally access the Scala Spark DataFrame API directly, as opposed to the `dplyr` interface which uses Spark SQL. These functions will 'force' any pending SQL in a `dplyr` pipeline, such that the resulting `tbl_spark` object returned will no longer have the attached 'lazy' SQL operations. Note that the underlying Spark DataFrame does execute its operations lazily, so that even though the pending set of operations (currently) are not exposed at the R level, these operations will only be executed when you explicitly `collect()` the table.
