make re-ordering of (rotated) components optional in qmethod() #273

Closed maxheld83 closed 9 years ago

this is a necessary addition to fix #263 See #263 for more information.

This should probably be implemented as an additional argument, so people can still use the re-ordering for backward compatibility. (Also, validation might otherwise break!).

I'm thinking reorder = FALSE, defaulting to FALSE, so people can use these objects for manual rotation in future.

Besides, my guess would be that as discussed in #263 and on CrossValidated, there's not a lot of reason to re-order components in Q methodology to begin with.

For backward compatbility, and for validation tests, we can set reorder = TRUE.
