[R] change order of plot panels in faceted ggplot/qplot

Hi,
I have a 5-paneled figure that i made using the facet function in
qplot (ggplot). I've managed to arrange the panels into two rows/
three columns, but for the sake of easy visual comparisons between
panels in my particular dataset, I want to have the two plots on the
bottom align on the right hand side of the figure instead of the left.
Here's an example:
m <- matrix(rnorm(300), nrow = 60)
colnames(m) <- paste('V', 1:5, sep = '')
b <- data.frame(site = factor(rep(c('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'), each =
12)), status = factor(rep(rep(c('D','L'), each = 3), 10)),
as.data.frame(m))
qplot(V2, V1, data=b, shape=status) + scale_shape_manual(value=c(1,16))
+facet_wrap(~site,nrow=2)
What I would like to do is keep the 2 row shape, keep the order
(A,B,C) of the top plots, but have the D and E panels in this example
align under the B and C plots.
Is this possible using qplot?
Many thanks,
Ali
