Probably a stupidly simple question, but I wouldn't know how to google it:

xyplot(neuro ~ time | UserID, data=data_sub)

creates a proper plot.

However, if I add
type = "l"
the lines do not go first through time1, then time2, then time3 etc but in about 50% of all subjects the lines go through points seemingly random
(e.g. from 1 to 4 to 2 to 5 to 3).
The lines always start at time point 1, though.

Defining "time" as factor or ordered doesn't change this.
"neuro" is a numerical variable.

It's probably some beginner's mistake, but I don't seem to be able to solve
it.

See if this gives a clue:

   library(lattice)
   xyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width | Species, type = 'l',
          data = iris)
   ord <- with(iris, order(Sepal.Width))
   iris2 <- iris[ord,]
   xyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width | Species, type = 'l',
          data = iris2)

I hope Peter doesn't take offense when I opine that the improved version remains an ugly plot. Better would be:

xyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width | Species,
          panel=function(x,y, ...){
                   panel.xyplot(x,y, ...)
                   panel.loess(x,y)},
          data = iris)

OR:

xyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width | Species,
          panel=function(x,y, ...){
                   panel.xyplot(x,y,...)
                   panel.lmline(x,y)},
          data = iris)
