If I want to sort the Chrom# from ascending order (1 to 23) for each unique ID (as shown below there's multiple rows of same IDs, how to write the R code for it? eg) MB-0002, chrom from 1,1,1,2,4,22... etc. 1 chrom per row. I am new to R so any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

If you can use dplyr::arrange
then you can easily sort by two variables.
tmp <- data.frame(id=c("a","a","b","a","b","c","a","b","c"),
value=c(3,2,4,1,2,1,7,4,3))
tmp
# id value
# 1 a 3
# 2 a 2
# 3 b 4
# 4 a 1
# 5 b 2
# 6 c 1
# 7 a 7
# 8 b 4
# 9 c 3
library(dplyr)
tmp %>% arrange(id, value)
# id value
# 1 a 1
# 2 a 2
# 3 a 3
# 4 a 7
# 5 b 2
# 6 b 4
# 7 b 4
# 8 c 1
# 9 c 3
FYI, an image doesn't work as a usable sample dataset.
