The order of the rows returned by summarize is controlled by the levels of the factors given to group_by. If group_by is given character columns instead of factors, it converts them to factors with the levels being the sorted unique values of the character columns. Convert you character columns to factors with the desired levels to get the order you want.
E.g., > d <- data.frame(charGroup=rep(c("Small","Medium","Large"),3:1), x=101:106) > d$factorGroup <- factor(d$charGroup, levels=c("Small","Medium","Large","X Large")) > d charGroup x factorGroup 1 Small 101 Small 2 Small 102 Small 3 Small 103 Small 4 Medium 104 Medium 5 Medium 105 Medium 6 Large 106 Large > d |> group_by(charGroup) |> summarize(minX=min(x)) # A tibble: 3 × 2 charGroup minX <chr> <int> 1 Large 106 2 Medium 104 3 Small 101 > d |> group_by(factorGroup) |> summarize(minX=min(x)) # A tibble: 3 × 2 factorGroup minX <fct> <int> 1 Small 101 2 Medium 104 3 Large 106 > # .drop=FALSE outputs a row for each unused level as well > d |> group_by(factorGroup, .drop=FALSE) |> summarize(minX=min(x)) # A tibble: 4 × 2 factorGroup minX <fct> <dbl> 1 Small 101 2 Medium 104 3 Large 106 4 X Large Inf Warning message: In min(x) : no non-missing arguments to min; returning Inf -Bill On Thu, Aug 25, 2022 at 4:05 AM javad bayat <j.bayat...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Rui; > Thank you very much.
