No.... I'm talking about changing the order (the first part of your question). What you see as dates on the axis aren't actually "Date"s (in the sense of the R class of that name) but rather factors. To R they are just labelled categories so it just uses an arbitrary order to plot them: if you change that order, you'll change the way they are plotted. Ista shows you how to do that.
About the "\" problem, for now, the best advice is "don't worry about it" they won't be there on your plots. Run this and you'll see what I mean: plot(1:5, main = "Foo\\nBar") The real answer involves escape characters, if you want to look into it more.
