How Do I Change the order of the columns and rows?

[airlie]

I'm a newbie to this and i'm trying to create my first report but i'm struggling to get the preferred order in rows and columns. i would like the age order to be in correct order but the age 5 - 9 is randomly placed nearer the end instead of after age 0-4 years. I would also like to alter so that "All" is placed at the top of the table display rather than "Accidental Injury"
Any ideas where i'm going wrong would be most gratefully received.

Sorry i forgot to include the code and table in the above post!

raw_deaths %>%
  group_by(InjuryType, AgeGroup, Sex) %>% 
  summarise(total_deaths = sum(NumberOfDeaths)) %>%
  pivot_wider(names_from = AgeGroup, values_from = total_deaths) %>%
  as_tibble(rownames="Statistic")
  mutate(Sex = factor(Sex)) %>%
  arrange(Sex) %>%
  select(Sex, everything())
  knitr:: kable(caption = "Deaths Resulting From Unintentional Injuries in Scotland")

InjuryType

Sex

0-4 years

10-14 years

15-24 years

25-44 years

45-64 years

5-9 years

65-74 years

I expect the levels are being arranged alphabetically. You can impose a certain order using the factor() function.

DF <- data.frame(Subj = c("Zoo", "All", "Accidental", "0-4", "10-15", "5-9"),
                 Value = 1:6)
DF
#>         Subj Value
#> 1        Zoo     1
#> 2        All     2
#> 3 Accidental     3
#> 4        0-4     4
#> 5      10-15     5
#> 6        5-9     6
library(dplyr, warn.conflicts = FALSE)
DF <- arrange(DF, Subj) #sort by Subj
DF
#>         Subj Value
#> 1        0-4     4
#> 2      10-15     5
#> 3        5-9     6
#> 4 Accidental     3
#> 5        All     2
#> 6        Zoo     1

#set the order of the factor levels in Subj
DF$Subj <- factor(DF$Subj, levels = c("All", "Zoo", "Accidental", "0-4", "5-9", "10-15"))
DF <- arrange(DF, Subj) #sort by Subj
DF
#>         Subj Value
#> 1        All     2
#> 2        Zoo     1
#> 3 Accidental     3
#> 4        0-4     4
#> 5        5-9     6
#> 6      10-15     5
