[R] Unordered Factors For ggplot?

[Juliet Hannah]

It would be easier with some example data. Make sure the data is represented by
factors and check the levels and relevel if needed. Something like:

df$day <- factor(df$day, levels = c("30", "29", "20))

Also search the ggplot2 mailing list for factor and order. I think
similar questions
are asked often (although I may not be interpreting your question correctly).
