reordering classes #1

Hi,

I've tried to reorder the classes without success. The first time I run poLCAParallel::poLCA() I seem to get the message "ALERT: error in user-specified starting values; new start values generated" even though I did not specify any starting values. I think that this is contributing to the error. In any case, the following code does not seem to reorder the classes in descending order as I would expect it to.

model_4 <- poLCAParallel::poLCA(
formula,
data,
nclass = 4,
nrep = 10,
verbose = FALSE,
na.rm = FALSE
)
model_4
model_4$probs.start

probs.start.new <- poLCAParallel::poLCA.reorder(model_4$probs.start, order(model_4$P, decreasing=TRUE))
model_4 <- poLCAParallel::poLCA(
formula,
data,
nclass = 4,
nrep = 10,
probs.start = probs.start.new,
verbose = FALSE,
na.rm = FALSE
)
model_4
model_4$probs.start

However, if the poLCAParallel:: prefix is replaced by poLCA:: throughout, then this code does work as expected and reorders the classes from largest (class 1) to smallest (class 4). Could you help with reordering classes? Thanks!
