What you sent looks like a set of column labels, not the actual numeric data.
You might want to convert them to factors where you control the order of the levels. > Factor.wrong <- factor(c("mm", "cm", "m", "km")) > levels(Factor.wrong) ## alphabetical order, not meaning order [1] "cm" "km" "m" "mm" > > Factor.right <- factor(c("mm", "cm", "m", "km"), + levels=c("mm", "cm", "m", "km")) > levels(Factor.right) ## meaning order [1] "mm" "cm" "m" "km" Or you might want to construct a matrix of counts of your data and plot that.
