Thanks very much for the replies.
Both suggestions worked perfectly.
That's one more step towards understanding R.
Thanks again.

Though the results of using plot() with a factor may not always be what you
expect, as plot.factor() differs from plot().

Then yes, you can do something like I originally suggested, though there
are other possible approaches.
Making up fake data rather than typing yours in:

This is the format of the table as it appears in R

It would be easier to answer your question if we knew what your
data look like, what R commands you've tried, and what result
you want.
One possibility: plot the data against 1:nrow(yourdata), and add
the row names as labels.

I'm new to R so forgive me if this seems like a simple question:
So I have table where the row titles are string variables. When I plot the
data with rows along the x-axis, the data is ordered alphabetically as
opposed to the order of the table.
How can I preserve the row order of the table in t
