Hi,

I'm plotting grouped barplot using following code and data. I need help with
re-ordering the labels.

1. On x-axis the factor "AGE" is grouped in order "0--4", "15--18", "5--14";
whereas I would like to have it in "0--4", "5--14", "15--18".

2. If I need to re-order "RACE" variable. How can I do it assuming I need to
change it on both the x-axis and legend. Currenlty the order is
"Black","Other","White"; whereas I would like "White", "Black", "Other".

Can anyone help please. I'm using following code, which is working fine
except above issues.

Code:

library(lattice)

################### assuming data is read in object name "dta".
attach(dta)
barchart(sum ~ age | gender, data = dta,
            groups = race,
  stack = FALSE,
  ylab="Sum of admissions over 10 years (1996-2005)",
  xlab="Age",
  par.settings=simpleTheme(col = c("green1", "yellow1", "orange")),
  key=list(space="right", cex=1,
  text=list(c("Black","Other","White")),
  rectangles=list(size=1.7, border="white", col = c("green1", "yellow1",
"orange"))),
  strip = strip.custom(bg="greenyellow")
)
detach(dta)

Data:
age gender  race sum
0--4 Female Black 145
0--4 Female Other  53
0--4 Female White  47
0--4   Male Black 286
0--4   Male Other 130
0--4   Male White  94
15--18 Female Black  30
15--18 Female Other   3
15--18 Female White   9
15--18   Male Black  21
15--18   Male Other   2
15--18   Male White   3
5--14 Female Black 138
5--14 Female Other  31
5--14 Female White  23
5--14   Male Black 199
5--14   Male Other  65
5--14   Male White  29

Thanks,
Peng
