How to Order a geom_bar plot in r by a third category










1















I have a dataframe with 3 categories and I want to make a bar plot with count on the Y axis and seq on the x-axis, but ordered by depth (which goes much higher than 2) but I cannot figure out how to do it.



s <- df
head(s)
count depth seq
1 10 1 A
2 20 2 AA
3 30 1 TT
4 25 3 C
5 40 2 AAA
6 12 2 G


This is my feeble attempt:



ggplot(data = s, aes(x=as.factor(s$seq), y=count, color = depth)) + 
geom_bar(stat="identity")


It goes without saying but I'm not very good at coding.



Thanks

          > ggplot(data = s, aes(x=reorder(as.factor(seq), -depth), y=count, fill = depth)) + 
          geom_bar(stat = 'identity')

          Data:



          > dput(s)
          structure(list(count = c(10, 20, 30, 25, 40, 12), depth = c(1,
