I'm able to sort dataframe column in R in ascending order. However, to sort the same in descending order, what is the correct approach?

Here marketValue is the name of the variable that holds the column Name.

Ex:

  marketValue = 'MV_20220805'
  df[order((df[,marketValue,])),]

Solution as suggested.

df[order((df[,marketValue,]),decreasing=TRUE),]
