`levels`	One or more levels of the factor, in the desired order

Value

A factor of the same length as the initial one.

Examples

words <- c("ini", "mini", "miny", "moe")
variable <- factor(words, levels = words)

# modify the order of the levels, keeping the order of the values
frelevel(variable, c("moe", "ini", "miny", "mini"))
