Translate dplyr slice_sample function into base R

Just a quick question: how to translate the dplyr function slice_sample into base R? Here is a toy dataset:

y <- rnorm(20)
x <- rnorm(20)
z <- rep(1:4, 5)
w <- rep(1:5, each=4)
dd <- data.frame(id=z,cluster=w,x=x,y=y)

Then I use slice_sample to randomly select 18 cases:

dd %>% slice_sample(n = 18) %>%
  arrange(cluster)

How to translate the dplyr code above into base R without using any packages? Many thanks!

Something like this?

a <- dd[sample(nrow(dd), 18), ]  
b <- a[order(a$cluster), ]


> head(b)
  id cluster            x           y
