Doubts on order() function

I have a list with two related variables: "Name" and "Score"

I want to order the list by Score, and if two people have the same 'Score' then it should be ordered by alphabetically by name. However, when I try this, the tie-breaker is its position on the list.

Is there a way to fix this?

         Name         Score
1        Rodrigo       100

2        Ramon          90

3        Eduardo        90

Then, after applying order(list_name), I get:

         Name         Score

2        Ramon        90

3        Eduardo      90

1        Rodrigo       100

Are you sure that's a list or is it a dataframe? – amrrs Mar 21 '19 at 06:45
Please provide a data example in a usable format. – LAP Mar 21 '19 at 06:48
amrrs it is, confirmed with typeof() – Ivan Mar 21 '19 at 06:50

Take better a look at what `class()` returns. – jay.sf Mar 21 '19 at 06:55

Actually, when I apply class() it shows it is a data frame! Is there any special function for this case? – Ivan Mar 22 '19 at 07:02
