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!

Sam

Date=as.Date(test$Date, format= "%d/%m/%Y")
plot(test$D.2D50.SA ~ test$Date)
