I have problems with the solution posted by useRj on Nov 15, 2017 at 16:59

"Likert package does not allow to do such manipulation. Heatmap is ALWAYS ordered by alphabetically sorted text. So I suggest a workaround by forcing the text to be previously sorted by the column you think the most likely to be like bar chart sorting. A bit nasty but works:

library(magrittr)
library(dplyr)

# Get the results data frame out of the list
# and sort by last column ("Strongly agree")
# padding with zeros to avoid alphabetical ordering

l24.results <- l24.reverse$results %>%
      dplyr::arrange(desc(`Strongly agree`)) %>% 
      dplyr::mutate(Item = paste(str_pad(row_number(),2, pad = "0"), Item, sep = ' '))


# create a likert object again from the summary feature

mylikert <- likert(summary = l24.results)

# plot again

plot(mylikert, type = "heat")

When I try with my own dataset, I have the following error:

Error in data.frame(Item = results[, 1], low = low, neutral = neutral,  : 
  object 'neutral' not found

this is the plot without sorting:

    It doesn't seem like you actually got the data to work with. Can you `dput()` your data (a shortened version if it's very large) and provide it in the question? – markhogue Dec 21 '22 at 15:29
