unsortedFactor

Casting <code><a href="/link/factor()?package=Orcs&version=1.2.3" data-mini-rdoc="Orcs::factor()">factor()</a></code> upon a (<code>character</code>) vector usually results in
alphabetically ordered factor levels. Although this seems reasonable in most
cases, the automated ordering of factor levels is seldomly desirable in the
context of visualization, e.g. when working with tiled lattice or
ggplot2 figures. This function returns a <code>factor</code> with levels ordered
according to their first appearance in the supplied vector.

I tend to repeat the same code chunks over and over again. At
first, this was fine for me and I paid little attention to such redundancies.
A little later, when I got tired of manually replacing Linux filepaths with
the referring Windows versions, and vice versa, I started to stuff some very
frequently used work-steps into functions and, even later, into a proper R
package. And that's what this package is - a hodgepodge of various R functions
meant to simplify (my) everyday-life coding work without, at the same time,
being devoted to a particular scope of application.
