Thanks Kenneth. That is the right idea for what I’m after. However, creating a 
combined factor based on “g” and “f” is creating unwanted spaces between the 
bars in the plot (I’d like to keep them adjacent within levels of “g” as shown 
in my first plot). 

I had the idea that ordering bars in ggplot with respect to a variable within 
factor levels would be easier, but looks it is not.

Thanks again,
Axe.
