Unnatural sort order when plotting with ordered=FALSE

[jonaskoeppel]

Hey there,
I'm trying to plot some likert scale items using likert.bar.plot. I use the function directly (instead of the generic plot function) because I don't want the variables to be sorted by the plot function (I've got the labels numbered and I'd like to keep this order).

Plotting with ordered=FALSE gives me kind of an unnatural sort order (see attachment). Instead of 1 ... 14 (like in the likert object) I get 9 ... 1, 14 ... 10.

Can you help me with this?

Thanks a lot for the support! Great package, by the way!

ordered = TRUE (generic plot function)

ordered = FALSE

I am plagued by the same problem and I haven't found a solution so far. A fix or explanation would be really appreciated.

I've found out that by giving the group.order parameter to the "plot" function solves the problem!

I have the problem, that I don't get a sorted plot (your image 1), but always this unsorted thing (picture 2). I found out that this happens, if at least one item does not have data for all its levels. Lets say item1 has levels "no", "maybe no", "maybe yes" and "yes", but in your data, people just checked "yes" and "no", and nobody said "maybe no".
So, if an item has 0% with any item level, I get picture 2...
