Hi James,
You can change the order of levels like this:

levels(viagraData$dose)<-c("placebo","low dose","high dose")

<SNIP>

As Richard Heiberger has pointed out, this is wrong.

What *does* work is:

viagraData$dose)<-factor(viagraData$dose,
                        levels=c("placebo","low dose","high dose")

This is a trap into which many a Young Player (including my very good self) has fallen.

cheers,

Rolf Turner
