Order of boxes in boxplot()

Sorry for such an inane question - how do I control the order in which 
the boxes are plotted using boxplot() when I pass it a formula and a 
data.frame? It seems that the groups are plotted in alphabetical 
order... I want to change this.... 

Mick,
Here's the code I use to order boxes by decreasing median value. 
SubtDays is variable of interest
ConChnl is original grouping factor.
tMedians is a temp data frame 
dConChnl is new grouping factor with desired order


boxplot(SubtDays ~ ConChnl, .          ### Default ordering of boxes

tMedians <- aggregate(SubtDays, list(ConChnl), median, na.rm = TRUE)
dConChnl <- factor(ConChnl, levels = tMedians[order(tMedians$x), 1])

boxplot(SubtDays ~ dConChnl, .         ### Ordered by decreasing median
