Group Order #37

Closed gamaly closed 6 years ago

gamaly commented 6 years ago

I'm struggling with ordering groups. I've used the following syntax to order my data.frame alphabetically by country name.

Data <- Data[order(Data$Country), ])

However, when displaying the groups, only some, but not all groups are displayed alphabetically. I'd say it gets about 90% correct.

I also looked at the JS documentation and found groupOrder, but haven't figured out how to implement that.

Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

I haven't tried using a group order before. Looking at the docs, it says

Order the groups by a field name or custom sort function. By default, groups are ordered by a property order (if set). If no order properties are provided, the order will be undetermined.

Have you tried adding an 'order' column?

That seems to have worked! Thanks for the advice on that one, and for all of your hard work in general.
