Converting Categorical Variables to Ordered Factors in R
Here is the code to convert categorical variable x into a factor with levels in ascending numerical order: d$x2 <- factor(d$x, levels=levels(d$x)[order(as.numeric(gsub("( -.*)", "", levels(d$x))))]) This will create a new column x2 in the dataframe d, which is a factor that has the same values as x, but with the levels in ascending numerical order. Note: The ( -) and (.*) are regular expression patterns used to extract the first number from each level.
