Is there a conventional way to use data.frame instead of cbind when
processing a 'by'?  

My code is littered with:

foo  <- data.frame(cbind(by( /* yadda */ )))

and I've had a problem similar to the Original Poster, resulting in
some ugly reordering, so I do the as.POSIXct _after_ the
data.frame(cbind())
