	  This creates Y as an ordered factor.

	  This completely discards the matrix z and replaces it with Y. 
Nothing of the matrix remains (except in your memory).

	  Rather than asking only for an explanation of some little thing that 
didn't solve your problem, may I suggest you tell us more about the 
problem you are actually trying to solve.  Why are you doing this?  What 
specifically do you want to accomplish -- but expressed in terms of a 
very simple example with a few lines of code that a reader can copy into 
R on their computer and get something, then try a couple of 
modifications that might be closer to what you want.
