Ordering in r plotly barchart
plotly
does it in alphabetical order. If you want to change it, just try to change levels of factor. This would be possible if you give your data in the form of data.frame
like here:
library(plotly)
table <- data.frame(x = c("giraffes", "orangutans", "monkeys"),
y = c(20, 14, 23))
table$x <- factor(table$x, levels = c("giraffes", "orangutans", "monkeys"))
plot_ly(
data=table,
x = ~x,
y = ~y,
name = "SF Zoo",
type = "bar"
)
Plotly
will order your axes by the order that is present in the data supplied. In case of character
vectors alphabetically; in case of factors by the order of levels. To override this behaviour, you need to define categoryorder
and categoryarray
for the xaxis
inside layout
:
library(plotly)
xform <- list(categoryorder = "array",
categoryarray = c("giraffes",
"orangutans",
"monkeys"))
plot_ly(
x = c("giraffes", "orangutans", "monkeys"),
y = c(20, 14, 23),
name = "SF Zoo",
type = "bar") %>%
layout(xaxis = xform)
