Minor touch up
Dec 28, 2015 at 18:35 comment added coatless Yes, since the ordering is custom and, thus, requires a custom mapping of the strings to numbers. I've updated my response with the additional information. @MERose

Added new sorting order technique to address the requesters clarification
Dec 28, 2015 at 11:03 comment added MERose Your example looks very good. It makes use of the inverted alphabetical order. I must admit my example is also inverted alphabetical order, which I didnot intend. How do I achieve an ordering of q$X2 like c("c", "a", "b")? I presume, turning q$X2 into a factor is the way to go, isn't?
