Is there a common case where the orderedness of these factors are giving some kind of issues?
They are ordered values and should be treated as such. ggplot2 itself has different default scales for ordered vs unordered data.
I don't think you can take the recommendation in R4DS to such an extreme conclusion as to strip the use from all available data
Thanks!
The diamonds dataset is full of ordered variables

R 4 datascience doesn't recommend using these.

Subsequently, should the diamonds dataset factor variables be unorderd?
