R help - Jul 2010 - re-ordering bwplot

Dear list:

I'm using bwplot to compare concentrations by location and treatment as in:

# using built in data
bwplot( conc ~ Type : Treatment, data = CO2 )

I would like the order of the plots to be: 3,4,1,2.   I can't seem to figure
this out with index.cond or permc.cond.

Any help is appreciated!

I think the only way is to

(1) explicitly create the interaction variable

(2) re-create the factor using factor() with your desired levels

This should be done before the bwplot() call.

Here's one way - you can reorder the levels of a factor variable by
specifying
the levels the way you want them.  
> require("lattice")
Loading required package: lattice
> bwplot( conc ~ Type : Treatment, data = CO2 )
> str(CO2$Type)
 Factor w/ 2 levels "Quebec","Mississippi": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 ...

 Factor w/ 2 levels "nonchilled","chilled": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 ...

  Quebec                0     42
  Mississippi          42      0
