[R] sorting with criteria that are "out of order"

[Niels Steen Krogh]

I try to sort this dataframe: 
     [,1]  [,2]     [,3]        [,4]  [,5]  [,6]  [,7]  [,8] 
 [1,] "CM"  "BARBY"  "INCREASED" "  0" "  2" "  0" "  1" "  1"
 [2,] "CM"  "BARBY"  "REDUCED"   "  0" "  1" "  2" "  2" "  5"
 [3,] "CM"  "BARBY"  "STANDARD"  " 93" " 51" " 56" " 41" " 77"
 [4,] "CM"  "BONBON" "INCREASED" " 43" " 30" " 39" " 32" " 58"
 [5,] "CM"  "BONBON" "REDUCED"   "  4" "  3" "  6" "  4" " 10"
 [6,] "CM"  "BONBON" "STANDARD"  "200" "141" "127" " 73" "134"
 [7,] "RAR" "BARBY"  "INCREASED" "  4" "  1" "  3" "  1" "  5"
 [8,] "RAR" "BARBY"  "REDUCED"   "  5" "  7" "  8" "  9" " 16"
 [9,] "RAR" "BARBY"  "STANDARD"  "571" "286" "314" "270" "467"
[10,] "RAR" "BONBON" "INCREASED" " 49" " 92" "108" "154" "240"
[11,] "RAR" "BONBON" "REDUCED"   " 11" "  9" "  5" "  6" " 18"
[12,] "RAR" "BONBON" "STANDARD"  "978" "627" "571" "324" "541"


I want the sorting criteria: 
Column 1: CM before RAR
Column 2: BONBON before BARBY
Column 3: REDUCED before STANDARD before INCREASED

Have played with the "order" function but without being able to "sort out" how
to sort using information in column three.
