Plot data in descending order as appears in data frame [duplicate]

by

You want reorder(). Here is an example with dummy data

set.seed(42)
df <- data.frame(Category = sample(LETTERS), Count = rpois(26, 6))

require("ggplot2")

p1 <- ggplot(df, aes(x = Category, y = Count)) +
         geom_bar(stat = "identity")

p2 <- ggplot(df, aes(x = reorder(Category, -Count), y = Count)) +
         geom_bar(stat = "identity")

require("gridExtra")
grid.arrange(arrangeGrob(p1, p2))

Giving:

Use reorder(Category, Count) to have Category ordered from low-high.
