For that, it should be enough to just reorder again by samp.time. Your
label code doesn't work then (I haven't tried to figure out why), but
your earlier idea using strsplit() does:
test$samp.time.new <-
with(test, reorder(reorder(samp.time:site, as.numeric(site)),
as.numeric(samp.time)))
lab <- sapply(strsplit(levels(test$samp.time.new), ":", fixed=TRUE), "[", 1)
dotplot(samp.time.new~conc|site, data=test,
ylim=lab,
scales=list(x=list(log=10), y = list(relation = "free")),
layout=c(1,5), strip=FALSE, strip.left=TRUE
)
