更改离散x比例的顺序 [英] Change the order of a discrete x scale

问题描述

我正在使用带有离散x尺度的ggplot制作一个闪烁的条形图，x轴现在按字母顺序排列，但我需要重新排列它，以便它按y轴的值排序（即，最高的酒吧将位于左侧）。

I am making a dodged bar chart using ggplot with discrete x scale, the x axis are now arranged in alphabetical order, but I need to rearrange it so that it is ordered by the value of the y-axis (i.e., the tallest bar will be positioned on the left).

我尝试了排序或排序，但结果是排序x轴，而不是分别排列。

I tried order or sort, but result in sort the x-axis, but not the bars respectively.

我做错了什么？

What have I done wrong?

推荐答案

尝试手动设置因子的级别在x轴上。例如：

Try manually setting the levels of the factor on the x-axis. For example:

library(ggplot2)
# Automatic levels
ggplot(mtcars, aes(factor(cyl))) + geom_bar()    

# Manual levels
cyl_table <- table(mtcars$cyl)
cyl_levels <- names(cyl_table)[order(cyl_table)]
mtcars$cyl2 <- factor(mtcars$cyl, levels = cyl_levels)
# Just to be clear, the above line is no different than:
# mtcars$cyl2 <- factor(mtcars$cyl, levels = c("6","4","8"))
# You can manually set the levels in whatever order you please. 
ggplot(mtcars, aes(cyl2)) + geom_bar()

正如James指出的那样在他的回答中， reorder

As James pointed out in his answer, reorder is the idiomatic way of reordering factor levels.

mtcars$cyl3 <- with(mtcars, reorder(cyl, cyl, function(x) -length(x)))
ggplot(mtcars, aes(cyl3)) + geom_bar()
