Hi all,

Could you please let me know how we can arrange mval columns in same order as targets2 row names.

#phenotype file
targets<-read.table("limma.phenos.hba1c.304.txt", header=TRUE, stringsAsFactor=FALSE,row.names=NULL, sep="\t")



head(targets2)
                  BeadChipID sex age creat_umol_per_L    creat      eGFR Batch
