Is there a way to draw a line from the Y axis labels to the dots, like a lollipop chart?

Try adding one more line:

add_mean_bar(width = 0.1)

Interesting.

Is this an equivalent of coord_flip()?

I'd have *expected* it to put them in alphabetical order (default if passed as a character to ggplot I think!)

Regarding the ordering of the axis labels, this is done by the `sort_y_axis_labels()` function.

Ah. I hadn't spotted the variable order swap. So thought sort_y... Was flipping the axis which didn't seem intuitively named

SHRTM!

And the sort is by value not alphabet!

jbengler.de•14 days ago

Yes!

The use of coord_flip() is kind of discouraged, because you can do the same thing by swapping x and y aesthetic.

E.g. `tidyplot(x = size, y = dinosaur)` instead of `tidyplot(x = dinosaur, y = size)`
