fct_reorder factor column by another column












1















I have this dataframe called test:



structure(list(event_type = structure(c(5L, 6L, 8L, 3L, 9L, 1L, 
7L, 4L, 10L, 2L), .Label = c("BLOCK", "CHL", "FAC", "GIVE", "GOAL",
"HIT", "MISS", "SHOT", "STOP", "TAKE"), class = "factor"), hazard_ratio = c(0.909615543020822,
1.3191464689192, 0.979677208703559, 1.02474605962247, 1.04722377755438,
1.07656116782136, 1.01186162453814, 1.06021078216577, 0.972520062522276,
0.915937088175971)), row.names = c(NA, -10L), class = "data.frame")


I want to reorder event_type according to hazard_ratio, so I tried this to no avail..



test %>% 
mutate(event_type = as.character(event_type),
event_type = fct_reorder(event_type, hazard_ratio))

  • If you're stuck with the tidyverse, then mutate(test, event_type = fct_reorder(event_type, hazard_ratio, .fun = identity)). Look at the help for fct_reorder, the .fun is defined as .fun = median.

It sure looks like both methods reorder the factor on my system:



structure(list(event_type = structure(c(5L, 6L, 8L, 3L, 9L, 1L, 
7L, 4L, 10L, 2L), .Label = c("BLOCK", "CHL", "FAC", "GIVE", "GOAL",
"HIT", "MISS", "SHOT", "STOP", "TAKE"), class = "factor"), hazard_ratio = c(0.909615543020822,
1.3191464689192, 0.979677208703559, 1.02474605962247, 1.04722377755438,
1.07656116782136, 1.01186162453814, 1.06021078216577, 0.972520062522276,
0.915937088175971)), row.names = c(NA, -10L), class = "data.frame") -> test


We'll use ggplot2 for verification since it uses factors for ordering axis things.



Original:



ggplot(test, aes(hazard_ratio, event_type)) +
geom_segment(aes(xend=0, yend=event_type))


enter image description here



Good 'ol base R



mutate(test, event_type = reorder(event_type, hazard_ratio)) %>% 
ggplot(aes(hazard_ratio, event_type)) +

    It reorders the factor. Do a str() of the data frame or a str() of the column before/after and you'll see that the factor changes. It's not going to rearrange the entire data frame. That's what arrange() does.
