- For character sorting
depends on locale. Use `method = radix` for locale-independent fast sorting.

- Default is ascending; use `-x` for descending numeric
or `decreasing = TRUE`.

- Returns a **permutation vector** of indices
not the sorted values. Use `x[order(x)]` to sort.

- If FUN returns multiple values
result column is a **matrix column** inside the data frame.

- Returns columns named after the grouping variables
with result column keeping the original name.

- Levels are sorted by default
but sort order is **locale-dependent** at creation time.

- `c()` on factors unions level sets (since R 4.1.0)
but earlier versions converted to integer.

- Only `==` and `!=` work between factors; factors must have identical level sets. Ordered factors support `<`
`>`.

- Duplicate column names allowed only with `check.names = FALSE`
but many operations will de-dup them silently.

- `as.numeric(f)` returns **integer codes**
not original values. Use `as.numeric(levels(f))[f]` or `as.numeric(as.character(f))`.

- `duplicated` marks the **second and later** occurrences as TRUE
not the first. Use `fromLast = TRUE` to reverse.

- Atomic vectors recycle to match longest column
but only if exact multiple. Protect with `I()` to prevent conversion.

- `cbind(NULL)` returns `NULL` (not a matrix). For consistency
`rbind(NULL)` also returns `NULL`.

Data
PromptBeginner5 minmarkdown
- `rbind` on data frames matches columns **by name**
not position. Missing columns get `NA`.

- Result is always an **array** (even 1D)
class table. Convert to data frame with `as.data.frame(tbl)`.

- `cbind` on data frames calls `data.frame(...)`
not `cbind.matrix`. Mixing matrices and data frames can give unexpected results.

- If `f` is a list of factors
interaction is used; levels containing `.` can cause unexpected splits unless `sep` is changed.

- `...` args to FUN are **not** divided into cells — they apply globally
so FUN should not expect additional args with same length as X.
