Dear List

I am trying to draw a heatmap using ggplot2. In this heatmap I have faceted my 
data by 'infection' of which I have four. These four infections break down into 
two types and I would like to reorder the 'infection' column of my data to 
reflect this. 

Toy example below:

library(ggplot2)

# test data for ggplot reordering
genes <- (rep (c(rep('a',4), rep('b',4), rep('c',4), rep('d',4), rep('e',4), 
rep('f',4)) ,4))
fcData <- rnorm(96)
times <- rep(rep(c(2,6,24,48),6),4)
infection <- c(rep('InfA', 24), rep('InfB', 24), rep('InfC', 24), rep('InfD', 
24))
infType <- c(rep('M', 24), rep('D',24), rep('M', 24), rep('D', 24))

# data is long format for ggplot2
plotData <- as.data.frame(cbind(genes, as.numeric(fcData), as.numeric(times), 
infection, infType))

hp2 <- ggplot(plotData, aes(factor(times), genes)) + geom_tile(aes(fill = 
scale(as.numeric(fcData)))) + facet_wrap(~infection, ncol=4)

# set scale
hp2 <- hp2 + scale_fill_gradient2(name=NULL, low="#0571B0", mid="#F7F7F7", 
high="#CA0020", midpoint=0, breaks=NULL, labels=NULL, limits=NULL, 
trans="identity") 

# set up text (size, colour etc etc)
hp2 <- hp2 + labs(x = "Time", y = "") + scale_y_discrete(expand = c(0, 0)) + 
opts(axis.ticks = theme_blank(), axis.text.x = theme_text(size = 10, angle = 
360, hjust = 0, colour = "grey25"), axis.text.y = theme_text(size=10, colour = 
'gray25'))

hp2 <- hp2 + theme_bw()

In the resulting plot I would like infections infA and infC plotted next to 
each other and likewise for infB and infD. I have a column in the data - 
infType - which I could use to reorder the infection column but so far I have 
no luck getting this to work.

Could someone give me a pointer to the best way to reorder the infection factor 
and accompanying data into the order I would like?

Best
