R sort data frame

Question

I need to sort a data.fram by the first column (Trade Value). The properties of my data.frame are:

 str(Data_OUT)
'data.frame':   68 obs. of  9 variables:
 $ Trade Value              : num  6 7.5 8 8.5 9 9 9.5 10 10.5 10.5 ...
 $ Running Back.Player Name : chr  "" "" "" "" ...
 $ Running Back.Trend       : num  NA NA NA NA NA NA 0 0 NA NA ...
 $ Wide Receiver.Player Name: chr  "Mohamed Sanu" "Marquise Brown" "Tyrell Williams" "Marvin Jones" ...
 $ Wide Receiver.Trend      : num  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...
 $ Tight End.Player Name    : chr  "" "" "" "" ...
 $ Tight End.Trend          : num  NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA ...
 $ Quarterback.Player Name  : chr  "" "" "" "" ...
 $ Quarterback.Trend        : num  NA NA NA NA NA NA 0 NA NA NA ...

summary(Data_OUT)

     Max.   :0        
     NA's   :59      

I am trying to use this code:

Data_OUT <- Data_OUT %>% dplyr::arrange(desc('Trade Value'))

but the result is that the table is sort ascending instead of descending.

and I have tried:

Data_OUT <- Data_OUT[order(-'Trend Value'),]

but I get the error: "Error in -"Trend Value": invalid argument to unary operator"

Anyone have other suggestions?

Thanks!

You can change to, be careful with the ` and '

Data_OUT <- Data_OUT %>% dplyr::arrange(desc(`Trade Value`))
