Question

我想创建一个条形图，其中条形按高度排序，而不是按类别按字母顺序排列。当我加载的唯一包是ggplot2时，这工作正常。但是，当我加载一些包并运行创建，排序和绘制数据框的相同代码时，条形图已经恢复为按字母顺序排序。

我每次都使用str()检查数据框，结果发现数据框的属性现在不同了，即使每次都运行相同的代码。

我的代码和输出如下所示。任何人都可以解释不同的行为吗？为什么加载一些显然不相关的包（在我所使用的函数似乎都没有被新加载的包掩盖的意义上无关）会改变运行transform()函数的结果？

案例1：加载ggplot2

library(ggplot2)

group = c("C","F","D","B","A","E")
num = c(12,11,7,7,2,1)
data = data.frame(group,num)
data1 = transform(data, group=reorder(group,-num))

> str(data1)
'data.frame':   6 obs. of  2 variables:
 $ group: Factor w/ 6 levels "C","F","B","D",..: 1 2 4 3 5 6
  ..- attr(*, "scores")= num [1:6(1d)] -2 -7 -12 -7 -1 -11
  .. ..- attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 1
  .. .. ..$ : chr  "A" "B" "C" "D" ...
 $ num  : num  12 11 7 7 2 1

案例2：加载多个包，然后再次运行相同的代码

library(plyr)
library(xtable)
library(Hmisc)
library(gmodels)
library(reshape2)
library(vcd)
library(lattice)

group = c("C","F","D","B","A","E")
num = c(12,11,7,7,2,1)
data = data.frame(group,num)
data1 = transform(data, group=reorder(group,-num))

> str(data1)
'data.frame':   6 obs. of  2 variables:
 $ group: Factor w/ 6 levels "A","B","C","D",..: 3 6 4 2 1 5
 $ num  : num  12 11 7 7 2 1

更新：SessionInfo（）

案例1：加载ggplot2

后运行sessionInfo（）

案例2：在加载其他包

之后运行sessionInfo（）

Answer 1

这是因为：

gmodels导入gdata
gdata为reorder.factor

开始一个干净的会话。然后：

methods("reorder")
[1] reorder.default*    reorder.dendrogram*

现在加载gdata（或加载gmodels，效果相同）：

library(gdata)
methods("reorder")
[1] reorder.default*    reorder.dendrogram* reorder.factor

请注意，没有屏蔽，因为基础

reorder.factor

重新创建问题，但这次显式调用了不同的包：

group = c("C","F","D","B","A","E")
num = c(12,11,7,7,2,1)
data = data.frame(group,num)

基础R版本（使用reorder.default）：

str(transform(data, group=stats:::reorder.default(group,-num)))
'data.frame':   6 obs. of  2 variables:
 $ group: Factor w/ 6 levels "C","F","B","D",..: 1 2 4 3 5 6
  ..- attr(*, "scores")= num [1:6(1d)] -2 -7 -12 -7 -1 -11
  .. ..- attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 1
  .. .. ..$ : chr  "A" "B" "C" "D" ...
 $ num  : num  12 11 7 7 2 1

gdata版本（使用reorder.factor）：

str(transform(data, group=gdata:::reorder.factor(group,-num)))
'data.frame':   6 obs. of  2 variables:
 $ group: Factor w/ 6 levels "A","B","C","D",..: 3 6 4 2 1 5
 $ num  : num  12 11 7 7 2 1

重新排序因子会产生不同的结果，具体取决于加载的包
