My SAS brain was still plugged in.  I had a missing data point entered as a
"."  I didn't think anything of it since SAS treats that as missing data.
Apparently it confuses R.  I deleted the "." re-imported the data and
everything was beautiful.  If anyone is bored I am still interested in why R
orders lattice plots from bottom to top.

Thanks,
Phillip
