using an example from r online help
> state <- c("tas", "sa", "qld", "nsw", "nsw", "nt", "wa", "wa",
"qld", "vic", "nsw", "vic", "qld", "qld", "sa", "tas",
"sa", "nt", "wa", "vic", "qld", "nsw", "nsw", "wa",
"sa", "act", "nsw", "vic", "vic", "act")
>statefac<-factor(state)
now if i use levels function to print factor levels they are shown
sorted by alphabetical order. the output is shown below
>levels(statefac)
[1] "act" "nsw" "nt" "qld" "sa" "tas" "vic" "wa"
I WANT THE FACTOR LEVELS TO BE SORTED IN ORDER OF DESCENDING DATA
FREQUENCY IN EACH LEVEL. IN OTHER WORDS I WANT THE LEVEL WHICH HAS THE
HIGHEST FREQUENCY IN STATE TO APPEAR FIRST, FOLLOWED BY ONE WHICH HAS
THE SECOND HIGHEST FREQUENCY AND SO ON.
Any help will be appreciated
