Hello, I am having a little trouble formatting my dates correctly. When I plot something using the following commands, R plots the most recent date on the left of the figure and then earlier date on the right of the figure. Given that English is read from left to right I would like to have the dates on my figure arranged in the same way. I am sure that this is something fairly simple but I was wondering if someone could help me out. Here is a minimal example that should reproduce my problem. I've also included so data thinking that perhaps my data format was the problem.
Thanks in advance!
