most likely you have a factor with default levels which are not ordered the way you want them to be ordered. You can reorder the levels with the factor function. If you still need help after adjusting the order of the levels, then please send the data to the list by including the output of dput(data) in the body of your email. The name "data" is a bad name for your dataset as it conflicts with the data function and the data= argument to many functions.
