I’m trying to plot a facets in ggplot2 but I struggle to get the internal ordering of the different facets right. The data looks like this:

head(THAT_EXT)
  ID          FILE           GENRE      NODE
1 CKC_1823_01  CKC          Novels    better
2 CKC_1824_01  CKC          Novels    better
3  EW9_192_03  EW9 Popular Science    better
4  H0B_265_01  H0B Popular Science       sad
5  CS2_231_03  CS2  Academic Prose desirable
6    FED_8_05  FED  Academic Prose   certain

str(THAT_EXT)
'data.frame':   851 obs. of  4 variables:
 $ ID   : Factor w/ 851 levels "A05_122_01","A05_277_07",..: 345 346 439 608 402 484 319 395 228 5 ...
 $ FILE : Factor w/ 241 levels "A05","A06","A0K",..: 110 110 127 169 120 135 105 119 79 2 ...
 $ GENRE: Factor w/ 5 levels "Academic Prose",..: 4 4 5 5 1 1 1 5 1 5 ...
 $ NODE : Factor w/ 115 levels "absurd","accepted",..: 14 14 14 89 23 16 59 59 18 66 ...

Part of the problem is that can’t get the sorting right. Here is the code for the sorting of NODE that I use:

THAT_EXT <- within(THAT_EXT, 
               NODE <- factor(NODE, 
                              levels=names(sort(table(NODE), 
                                                decreasing=TRUE))))

When I plot this with the code below I get a graphs in which the NODE is not correctly sorted in the individual GENREs since different NODEs are more frequent in different GENREs:

p1 <- 
ggplot(THAT_EXT, aes(x=NODE)) +
geom_bar() +
scale_x_discrete("THAT_EXT", breaks=NULL) + # supress tick marks on x axis
facet_wrap(~GENRE)

The resulting plot with the wrong ordering of NODE

What I want is for every facet to have NODE sorted in decreasing order for that particular GENRE. Can anyone help with this?

    As I mentioned already: facet_wrap is not intended for having individual scales. At least I didn’t find a solution. Hence, setting the labels in scale_x_discrete did not bring the desired result.

    But this my workaround:

    library(plyr)
    library(ggplot2)
    
    nodeCount <- ddply( df, c("GENRE", "NODE"), nrow )
    nodeCount$factors <- paste( nodeCount$GENRE, nodeCount$NODE, sep ="." )
    nodeCount <- nodeCount[ order( nodeCount$GENRE, nodeCount$V1, decreasing=TRUE  ), ]
    nodeCount$factors <- factor( nodeCount$factors, levels=nodeCount$factors )
    head(nodeCount)
    
                  GENRE       NODE V1                    factors
    121 Popular Science   possible 14   Popular Science.possible
    128 Popular Science surprising 11 Popular Science.surprising
    116 Popular Science     likely  9     Popular Science.likely
    132 Popular Science   unlikely  9   Popular Science.unlikely
    103 Popular Science      clear  7      Popular Science.clear
    129 Popular Science       true  5       Popular Science.true
    
    g <- ggplot( nodeCount, aes( y=V1, x = factors ) ) +
      geom_bar() +
      scale_x_discrete( breaks=NULL ) + # supress tick marks on x axis
      facet_wrap( ~GENRE, scale="free_x" ) +
      geom_text( aes( label = NODE, y = V1+2 ), angle = 45, vjust = 0, hjust=0, size=3 )
    

    Which gives:
