I am looking into change the numeric order in the level of the factor

x<-c("A","B","C")
fx<-factor(x)
fx
[1] A B C
Levels: A B C
factor(x)
[1] A B C
Levels: A B C
as.numeric(fx)
[1] 1 2 3

I want to change the order of the numeric into 3 corresponds to “A” level, 2
corresponds to “B” level and 1 corresponds to “C” level

So when I type in

As.numeric(fx) I  would like to get

3 2 1

fx <- factor(x,levels=c("C","B","A"))

cheers,
