\HeaderA{sort.arrayCGH}{Sort for normalized arrayCGH objects}{sort.arrayCGH}
\begin{Description}\relax
Sorts clone-level information of a normalized arrayCGH object.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
  ## S3 method for class 'arrayCGH':
  sort(x, decreasing = FALSE, position.var="Position",
    chromosome.var="Chromosome", ...)
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{x}] an object of type \code{arrayCGH}.
\item[\code{decreasing}] (for compatibility with \code{sort} class) currently unused.
\item[\code{position.var}] name of position variable.
\item[\code{chromosome.var}] name of chromosome variable.
\item[\code{...}] further arguments to be passed to \code{sort}.
\end{ldescription}
