Hi all,
I think this might be an easy one but I cannot think of a way to do this
other than what I am currently attempting. I simply want to sort my data
frame's rownames by a defined vector so that the plots I generate from that
vector are in the desired order
Consider the test data below:
#Create test data
DataToPlot.. <- data.frame("Location1" = c(100,200),"Location2" =
c(200,400))
#Name rowns
rownames(DataToPlot..) <- c("Fall","Summer")
#Attempt to coerce row names to factors
rownames(DataToPlot..) <- as.factor(rownames(DataToPlot..))
#Attenmpt to sort rownames by defined vector
rownames(DataToPlot..)<- reorder(as.factor(rownames(DataToPlot..)),
new.order = c("Summer","Fall","Winter","Spring"))
The rownames do not reorder nor do they remain factors.
Perhaps I can just sort these in the plot? Not sure whats easier/possible?
barchart(DataToPlot..SeCl , horizontal = FALSE, ylab = "Average Weekday
Counts",
group = colnames(DataToPlot..SeCl ), col =
Colors.[rownames(DataToPlot..SeCl)] )
Thanks for any help.
Josh
