Hello all, 
I am making boxplots of numerous variables using months as the grouping factor 
(months here is indeed a factor). I am using gui plots as opposed to command 
line only for their greater flexibility. 

The problem I'm running into is that the boxplots (which plot numerically 
correctly) are produced in alphabetical order, which pretty much kills their 
utility as monthly groupings  :). 

I've looked at a number of "box" functions (command and gui) but havent found 
anyway to control the order of placement. I thought of trying months() to force 
somekind of internal order, but since my data are already in months... Then I 
tried months() on my timeDate

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
