How to reorder factors in R (the easy way)

In this video I show you the best way to reorder factors in R.
You can use a simple trick with arrange and mutate or use stats::reorder() function. The forcats::fct_reorder() function makes reordering factors even easier. And if you ever want to reorder factors for multiple categories all at once you should be aware of tidytext::reorder_within() function in combination with facet_wrap().
