I know in my own experience (especially with graphing) and from drop-in questions, "I want these to be in a specific/different order than R/ggplot2 is putting them in" is a somewhat common issue and adding content on how to do that could be good!

main thoughts:

link to cheat sheet
what is a factor? what is a level?
how do I make something a factor?
how do I change the levels of a factor?
TL;DR :: how do I get R to read this thing I have in the order I want it to be read?

just dropping a note that I started working on this inside of presentation-visualization and can pick it up again on Friday, but if someone has free time before then feel free to add to it as well!

If others are okay with what's been added I think this issue can be closed! We now have a section with links to forcats help and such inside of "advanced wrangling topics" as well as a whole .rmd on using forcats functions to reorder your ggplots!
