add_sorting_order_vars: Create sorting order variables for output dataframe

In saros: Semi-Automatic Reporting of Ordinary Surveys

Create sorting order variables for output dataframe

Description

This module provides centralized sorting functionality to ensure consistent ordering across all output types (tables, plots) by using explicit order columns instead of relying on factor levels that can be overridden. Apply comprehensive sorting order to survey data

Usage

add_sorting_order_vars(
  data,
  sort_dep_by = ".variable_position",
  sort_indep_by = ".factor_order",
  sort_category_by = NULL,
  descend = FALSE,
  descend_indep = FALSE
)

Arguments

data	Dataset with survey results
sort_dep_by	How to sort dependent variables
sort_indep_by	How to sort independent variable categories
sort_category_by	How to sort response categories
descend	Whether to reverse the dependent variable order

Value

Dataset with added order columns: .dep_order, .indep_order, .category_order
