Hello R-users,
I have a data frame whose names of columns I don't know a priori, but the
user of my code will know them. The user is supposed to save the name of the
column that will need some reordering of the levels of the factor later on. The
name of the column will be saved in an object called:
variab
the data frame is called df.
If I try to the do following:
df[variab]<-factor(df[variab], levels=c("A2B","B31","C33"))
it won't work because df[variab] is a data frame. The reason for reordering the
levels of the factor is because once that variable is plotted, the levels of
the factor need to appear in certain order.
How can I re-order the levels of a factor whose name I don't know?
Thank you,
Judith
