months<-c("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")
monames.factor <- factor(monamescon$monames, levels=months)
stripchart(conc~monames.factor, data=monamescon, vert=TRUE)
read the help file
?factor
and see that the levels factor must contain unique values.

Hmm. I?m guessing that this might work with my stripchart problem:
Define months<-c("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")
Then use mofac<-factor(months, months)
Then set up a vector of 73 elements like
mos<-c(mofac[4],mofac[4],?,mofac[12])
Then my call to stripchart would be (conc~mos, ?)
Is that what I need to do?

Subject: [R-SIG-Mac] Question about stripchart
I have E. coli data (variable ?conc?) for 73 dates over months from Apr through Dec (variable ?monames?). The data are in order from the April through December, and are in a data.frame titled "monamescon?. When I run stripchart(conc~monames, data=monamescon, vert=TRUE), the months come out in alphabetical order along the x axis. How can I get them to come out in time order instead?
