Understanding the Error and its Implications The error message “arrange() failed at implicit mutate() step” suggests that there is an issue with the dplyr package, specifically with the arrange() function. This function is used to sort data in descending or ascending order based on one or more variables. The Role of implicit_mutate() In the context of dplyr, the arrange() function relies on an implicit mutation of the data frame. This means that if you’re using the arrange() function, R will create a temporary copy of your original dataset to perform the sorting.
