arrange vs. fct_reorder: Do they do the same thing?












0















Related: Difference of fct_reorder and reorder





Consider the code below from here and here.



My question:




  • What is the benefit of arrange(desc(Median)) if there is an fct_reorder(Major, Median) beneath it?




library(tidyverse)

recent_grads <- read_csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rfordatascience/tidytuesday/master/data/2018/2018-10-16/recent-grads.csv")
majors_processed <- recent_grads %>%
arrange(desc(Median)) %>% # What is the benefit of doing this if we have an fct_reorder below and vice-versa? Don't they do the same thing?
mutate(Major = str_to_title(Major),
Major = fct_reorder(Major, Median))

majors_processed %>%
View()

    arrange reorders rows. fct_reorder reorders factor levels. They are principally different things. Note that after the arrange one could just as well use fct_inorder instead of fct_reorder.
