I'm trying to change an unordered factor into an ordered factor: data96$RV961327 <- data96$V961327 data96$RV961327[data96$V961327 %in% levels(data96$V961327)[4]] <- NA data96$RV961327[data96$V961327 %in% levels(data96$V961327)[5]] <- NA data96$RV961327 <- factor(data96$RV961327) attributes(data96$RV961327) levels(data96$RV961327) data96$RV961327 data96$RRV961327 &...
