sort date columns in wide format in r

You can sort date columns in wide format by rearranging the columns based on the dates. Here's how you can do it in R:

# Assuming your data frame is named df and contains date columns in wide format
# Sort the columns based on the date
df <- df[, order(as.Date(colnames(df), format = "%Y-%m-%d"))]

# If the date columns are not in yyyy-mm-dd format, you may need to adjust the `format` parameter in `as.Date()`
