In this video, I will show you how to use facet_wrap or facet_grid to create multi-panel plots in R and ggplot.
Faceting plots can be very helpful to compare your data over different categories.
It can also help you to get a quick overview of your data across multiple variables if you use a special pivot longer trick.

I have a question. How do u change the order of the desplay. The factet grid follows alphabetical order. But i need and special order. For example the order in min 7:09 its Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe. But what if u want Europe first?
