[R] R not ploting lines in the correct order

[PIKAL Petr]

Hm

It seems to me that you want to plot some values from two objects X and Y.

you shall at least show us output of

str(X) and str(Y)

but posting result of

dput(X) and dput(Y)

gives us an opportunity to test what objects you have and what you actually do with them.

Just a guess. You think that your x values are dates but they actually are not, they only pretend to be.
