dplyr::arange() to order by a numeric #55

Description

@ariannaa7

Here, we wanted to order rows based on the percentage value (highest to lowest) in a column (in shiny, the cells of this column display both a count and a percentage).

I created a sort key copying over the value in estimate_value given that estimate_value represented a percentage (rather than a count). The values in estimate_value were stored as characters because of the use of "-" in some cases, so we converted to numeric. We then arranged based on this key and then dropped the column!

lsc_summarised_result <- lsc_summarised_result %>%
  omopgenerics::splitGroup() %>%
  dplyr::mutate(sort_key = case_when(
    (estimate_type == "percentage" & estimate_name == "percentage" & estimate_value != "-") ~ as.numeric(estimate_value),
    TRUE ~ NA # explicitly assign everything else NA
  )) %>%
  dplyr::arrange(cdm_name, desc(sort_key)) %>%
  dplyr::select(-sort_key) %>% # drop sorting column
  omopgenerics::uniteGroup(cols = c("cohort_name")) # unite once more

As with #54, omopgenerics::splitGroup() and omopgenerics::uniteGroup were used to maintain the integrity of the summarised_results object
