You didn't give enough code to reproduce your plot, but generally the
idea would be to replace the factor that's in the wrong order with an
ordered factor in your chosen order, with something like
modality$col3 <- ordered(modality$col3, levels=c("Textual",
"Graphic",
"Video", "Combination"))
(Put the actual column name in place of col3 above.)
