Arranging by number of characters in variable
-1
I would like to arrange a variable called "Name" by the number of characters in their Name. I'm aware that I need the arrange() function in the package dplyr, but do not find a function in the arrange() function that helps me to arrange based on numbers of characters in the name.
So far I have come up with: arrange((Name))
Is there someone who can help me with this?

Thanks for the comment. It did work. But now I want to arrange the Name variable in the same way in a barplot using the ggplot package. x = name, but this variable needs also be arranged based on number of characters in the name. Do you know how this works?

That is a whole different question.

You need to open a new question and ask about ploting it. However, please have in mind the following: Please read the info about how to ask a good question and how to give a reproducible example. This will make it much easier for others to help you.

Here's a simple workaround with dplyr package and iris data:
library(dplyr)
iris %>%
mutate(Species = as.character(Species)) %>% # Convert factor to characters
arrange(nchar(Species))
