Hi all, I have the following data "tmp" and I want to plot boxplots for each level of the factor "type" and the order the factor should be c, b ,a. In other words, the boxplot corresponding to the level "c" should be the first and so on. Any suggestions?

Make your factor variable deliberately. That is, specify the levels parameter
with the values in order when you create the factor.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for replying. I actually tried "ordered(tmp$type,
levels=c("c",
"b", "a")."
But I think only the order of the letters on x axis changed but the order
of the boxplot did not. So there is some problem there. I also tried
as.factor(tmp$type); levels(tmp$type)=c("c", "b",
"a") and got the same
thing.
Thanks.
Li
