>From what I understand, you want to set up a factor with the levels reversed. It is not that `5 is larger than 1', but that you created a factor with the levels in alphabetic order. Lattice plots in the order of the levels.
Something like f <- factor(f, levels=rev(levels(f))) will do this. For the horizontal factor, give the levels in the order you want them to appear (which might not be the reverse of alphabetic).
