sortPed function bug

[AudreyAAMartin]

Describe the bug
The sortPed function should return a pedigree with information/column about which generation individuals are part of. In the current setting, all individuals are (wrongly) attributed gen 1.

Steps To Reproduce
#Pedigree setting
id = 1:5
mother = c(0,0,0,1,1)
father = c(0,0,2,0,3)
#creating the ped and getting the gen information
ped = sortPed(id=id, mother=mother, father=father, maxCycle=100)

Expected behavior
I would expect the founders to get a value of 1 for gen, and then the offspring to be of a later generation than their parents.
For the pedigree used as example, I would expect this output:
gen id mother father
1 1 0 0
1 2 0 0
2 3 0 2
2 4 1 0
3 5 1 3

Just to add that the behaviour is

AlphaSimR:::sortPed(id=id, mother=mother, father=father, maxCycle=100)
  gen id mother father motherID fatherID
1   1  1     NA     NA        0        0
2   1  2     NA     NA        0        0
3   1  3     NA      2        0        2
4   1  4      1     NA        1        0
5   1  5      1      3        1        3

So all individuals have the same generation.

This PR #111 proposes a fix

[gaynorr]

Thanks for fix @AudreyAAMartin.

[AudreyAAMartin]

@gaynorr for some reason the current CRAN version does not include the PR #111, despite the fact that the main branch has this commit accepted, which is very odd 2215f29.

Perhaps you need to rebuild and reupload the package to CRAN?

[AudreyAAMartin]

@gaynorr is it because your devel and main branches are not in sync?

[gaynorr]

@AudreyAAMartin thanks for pointing this out. I forgot about this when submitting to CRAN, and submitted the source package from devel that didn't include your changes made on the master. I'll look into syncing these branches.

[gaynorr]

@AudreyAAMartin I merged the master branch into devel and that should sort out the issue. Your changes are now reflected in both branches and should go to CRAN with the next submission.

I tend to do all my work on devel and submit to CRAN for there. I initiate a pull request from devel to master when I'm getting ready submit and use GitHub actions to test the package before submitting. I've been trying to approve the pull request after the package is accepted on CRAN, so that the master version reflect what's on CRAN. However, I'm not always consistent with what I do.

It was my mistake for forgetting to merge your submission to devel before submitting.
