Factor order within faceted dotplot using ggplot2

Question

I\'m trying to change the plotting order within facets of a faceted dotplot in ggplot2, but I can\'t get it to work. Here\'s my melted dataset:

> London.m         


        

Answer 1

This is the best I can do with qplot. Not exactly what you asked for but closer. OOOPs I see you already figured that out.

q <- qplot(x = count, y = reorder(country, count), data = London.melt, geom = "point", facets = medal.type ~.)

Here's a dput version so others can improve:

dput(London.melt)
structure(list(country = structure(c(9L, 6L, 3L, 1L, 7L, 4L, 
5L, 8L, 2L, 10L, 9L, 6L, 3L, 1L, 7L, 4L, 5L, 8L, 2L, 10L, 9L, 
6L, 3L, 1L, 7L, 4L, 5L, 8L, 2L, 10L), .Label = c("Australia", 
"China", "France", "Germany", "Great Britain & N. Ireland", "Italy", 
"Japan", "Russian Federation", "South Korea", "United States"
), class = "factor"), medal.type = structure(c(2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 
2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 
1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L), .Label = c("bronze", 
"gold", "silver"), class = "factor"), count = c(13L, 8L, 11L, 
7L, 7L, 11L, 29L, 24L, 38L, 46L, 8L, 9L, 11L, 16L, 14L, 19L, 
17L, 26L, 27L, 29L, 7L, 11L, 12L, 12L, 17L, 14L, 19L, 32L, 23L, 
29L)), .Names = c("country", "medal.type", "count"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c("1", 
"2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13", 
"14", "15", "16", "17", "18", "19", "20", "21", "22", "23", "24", 
"25", "26", "27", "28", "29", "30"))
