#>    len supp dose
#> 1  4.2   VC  0.5

#> 4  5.8   VC  0.5
#> 5  6.4   VC  0.5
#> 6 10.0   VC  0.5

# Select column using standard evaluation
df %>% df_arrange(vars = c("dose", "len"))
#>    len supp dose
#> 1  4.2   VC  0.5

#> 3  6.4   VC  0.5
#> 4  7.3   VC  0.5
#> 5 10.0   VC  0.5
#> 6 11.5   VC  0.5

# Select column using non-standard evaluation
df %>% df_arrange(dose, desc(len))
#>    len supp dose
#> 1 11.5   VC  0.5
#> 2 10.0   VC  0.5
#> 3  7.3   VC  0.5
#> 4  6.4   VC  0.5
