[R] ggpubr: order of non-numeric x-axis items
In the Epi package is a function, Relevel (note the capital R), that does general reordering and combination of factor levels.

Yes , thanks Deepayan. Darn! -- I've committed this error in the past,
also, but keep forgetting. Sigh... the aging brain.

No, that changes the data, not just the order of the levels; "b" and
"a" have been switched.
You need some version of

[1] c b a c b a
See also ?reorder for a useful way of reordering the levels,
especially in plots.

Re: [R] ggpubr: order of non-numeric x-axis items
No. relevel() only changes the order in one specific way. Use `levels<-`()
to reorder in a general way:
> z <- factor(rep(letters[3:1],2))
> z
[1] c b a c b a
Levels: a b c
> z <-relevel(z, ref = "c")
> z
[1] c b a c b a
Levels: c a b
> levels(z)<- c("c","b","a")
> z
[1] c a b c a b
Levels: c b a
Cheers,

Re: [R] ggpubr: order of non-numeric x-axis items
Try using relevel() to organize the categories in your factor in the desired order. You may need to use relevel(as.factor()) .

[R] ggpubr: order of non-numeric x-axis items
Hi, When I use ggpubr with an x-axis utilizing descriptive categories (eg. bar chart for different colors of car), it sorts all of the labels alphabetically. Is there a way to change this so it shows in the order I want?
