Ordering in r plotly barchart

Question

Why do I get the different order in plotly bar chart than I defined in x and y variables.

E.g.

library(plotly)

plot_ly(
  x = c(\"giraffes\", \"oran         


        

Answer 1

You can also use reorder if you want to order based on a second variable:

library(plotly)
 x <- c("giraffes", "orangutans", "monkeys")
 y <- c(20, 14, 23)

plot_ly(
  x = ~reorder(x,y),
  y = ~y,
  name = "SF Zoo",
  type = "bar"
  )
