See ?factor. You can either use ?ordered to create an ordered factor to sort the levels as you desire or sort them with factor(). e.g.
> f <- factor(letters[3:1]) > f [1] c b a Levels: a b c ## default ordering > f <- factor(f, levels = letters[3:1]) > f [1] c b a Levels: c b a ## explicit ordering Cheers, Bert Bert Gunter "The trouble with having an open mind is that people keep coming along and sticking things into it." -- Opus (aka Berkeley Breathed in his "Bloom County" comic strip ) On Wed, Aug 15, 2018 at 7:21 AM, Stats Student <stats.student4...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, I am generating multiple charts with facet_wrap() and what what I see, > R/ggplot sorts the panels by the facet variable.
