When I try to reorder y-axis based on the value of x and then facet by another variable, the ordering is lost.
Below an example
library("ggplot2")
# dummy data_frame
df <- data_frame(subj = as.factor(rep(c("Adam", "Brenna", "Charlie"), each = 3)),
type = as.factor(rep(c("A","B", "C"), 3)),
score = c(50, 0, 100, rep(c(100, 50, 0), 2)))
# A tibble: 9 x 3
subj type score
<fct> <fct> <dbl>
1 Adam A 50
2 Adam B 0
3 Adam C 100
4 Brenna A 100
5 Brenna B 50
Plot without faceting and with only one subj works well as expected
df %>%
filter(subj == "Adam") %>%
ggplot(aes(score, reorder(type, score))) +
geom_point()
and here after faceting by subj
+ facet_grid(subj ~., scales = "free_y")
I did try to reorder also by subj and other approaches for reorder after faceting but nothing. I can definitely come with a work around (i.e. create 3 single plots and then combine them together with gridExtra) but a more elegant way should be available and it seems that I am clearly missing some important details.
Thanks! :)
