Reordering bars by multiple variables

[jyr...@gmail.com]

Say, I want to rearrange the bars in my plot by a variable, I can do something like

y = reorder(name, variable1)

But how would I go about using two variables for reordering? To first order by variable1, then by variable2?

[jyr...@gmail.com]

Turns out this does the job:

y = reorder(reorder(name, variable2), variable1)

Not the prettiest looking solution but it works.

You need to order factor levels.

Cheers,

Roman

You should check out the new tidyverse package forcats::fct_reorder(). I think that will give you a more elegant solution.
