How to reorder a vector so it matches the order of another vector in R?

Pretty basic question that im struggling to find an answer on...

If I have two vectors in R, like so:

Name <- c(1,2,3,4)
Name_1 <- c(2,4,1,3)

Is there a way to reorder, say, the Name vector so it matches the order of Name_1? That is, the resulting vector would look like this:

Result <- reorder(Name so that it = Name_1)
Result
> 2,4,1,3

Any suggestions as to how I do this in R?

If all elements of Name_1 match with Name the 2 vectors are the same. However the solution should be: 

Name[Name_1]
