Hello, Try the following myex - myexample myex$sample - as.character(myex$sample) myex$sample - as.Date(myex$sample, format=%d/%m/%Y) myex Then, run the first attempt without bothering to order, lattice is clever and will do it for you. Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 22-06-2012 13:20,

thanks for your reply but I don't think your solution can accomplish to what I need... (I can't see any ordering of the variable sample with reference to the variable obs) please keep in mind that for a numer of reasons that I do not mention here for the sake of conciseness in my case the

Hello, Ok, I hadn't understood. I still don't, not completely. Why do you want to order 'sample' with reference to 'obs'? It would make sense only in the case of 'obs' ties. Doesn't it make more sense to order 'sample' within 'site'? As for keeping 'sample' character it's very simple, I was
