Sorry to keep asking elementary questions......I appreciate the help. I am trying to create a dotchart with the rows sorted according to the values, rather than the labels. When I try
prof <- c('Accountant', 'Administrative assistant', 'Garment worker', 'Cook', 'Dentist', 'General practictioner', 'Graduate student', 'High level manager', 'Low level manager', 'Mechanical engineer', 'Mechanic', 'Minister/priest/rabbi', 'Nurse', 'Professor', 'Sales clerk', 'Server', 'Taxi driver') mol <- c(34, 29, 27, 36, 20, 40, 35, 32, 30, 31, 30, 32, 37, 37, 27, 28, 36) dotchart(mol, labels = prof, main = 'Dot chart', xlab = 'Meaning of life score') I get a dot chart sorted by the values of prof; what I'd like is one sorted by values of mol. I looked at the help file for dotchart, but did not see anything. Thanks again in advance Peter L.
