Reordering Factors--NOT alphabetical!

General
1

Hi,
I am a neew R Studio Community user and relatively new R user.

I have seen this question posted before, but answer was unclear to me.

I have a dataset with multiple counts ("normalized " in my data) per month. 12 months per year x 2 years I am simply trying to create a line plot the average monthly normalized count over the entire period of record.

I have calculated mean value per month, but output is in alphabetical order. How do I get the original order (e.g., jan-2018, feb-2019, ....)? I have tried several things, but cannot get this to work.

thanks

Reprex code:

bm <- bees %>%
group_by(m_y) %>%
summarise(normalized=mean(normalized)) %>%
bm

Data
Set m_y Trap normalized

If you post data, please restrict it to the minimum necessary and also do so as code via e.g. dput().

This is because R recognizes m_y as a character vector, which will be converted into a factor and reordered alphabetically when mapped onto the x-axis. So you have to pre-order m_y by its first appearance using fct_inorder()

bm <- bees %>% 
  mutate(m_y = fct_inorder(m_y)) %>%
  group_by(m_y) %>%
  summarise(normalized=mean(normalized))

bm %>%
  ggplot() + 
  geom_line(aes(m_y, normalized, group = 1))

Another option is not to use factors at all, you can create the line plot with dates

library(tidyverse)
library(lubridate)

bees %>% 
    mutate(Set = dmy(Set),
           m_y = floor_date(Set, unit = "month")) %>% 
    group_by(m_y) %>% 
    summarise(normalized = mean(normalized)) %>% 
    ggplot(aes(x = m_y, y = normalized)) +
    geom_line() +
    scale_x_date(date_breaks = "1 month", date_labels = "%b-%Y") +
    theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 45, hjust = 1, vjust = 1))

Thanks @martin.R, @enixam, and @andresrcs

Great and timely feedback. Much appreciated.
