ggplot(Afghan_Appr, aes(Year, Apprehension, fill = Appr_Country)) + geom_bar(stat = "identity", position = 'dodge')

enter image description here My outputted plot basically plots three bars per each year but does it in the order of MEX, PAN, US when I want it to be PAN, MEX, US. Is there a way to switch the order? I tried using Afghan$Appr_Country to switch the order, but because of the structure of the data it doesn't work.

Use fct_relevel from forcats package to switch the order of the df

library(ggplot2)
library(forcats)

ggplot(Afghan_Appr, aes(x = Year, y = Apprehension, fill = fct_relevel(Appr_Country, c("PAN", "MEX", "US")))) +
  geom_bar(stat = "identity", position = "dodge")

Does this work ?

Afghan_Appr[,3] = factor(Afghan_Appr[,3], level= c('PAN','MEX','US'))
ggplot(Afghan_Appr, aes(Year, Apprehension, fill = Appr_Country)) + geom_bar(stat = "identity", position = 'dodge')
