reduce documentation

[gevro]

Hi, It seems that the reduce function outputs a sorted output, but this is not documented. Just confirming that this is indeed what happens? If so, might be useful to document this. Thanks

Yes the ouput is sorted. This is documented in ?IRanges::reduce:

  reduce:

       ‘reduce’ first orders the ranges in ‘x’ from left to right, then
       merges the overlapping or adjacent ones.

This is in the IRanges package. The man page for reduce() in GenomicRanges (?GenomicRanges::reduce) refers the reader to the man page in IRanges for the full details.

Hope this helps,

H.
