#>      1610      4906     12082     13791     21551 
in_size_order <- size_order(ggplot2::diamonds$cut)
table(in_size_order)
#> in_size_order
#>     Ideal   Premium Very Good      Good      Fair 
#>     21551     13791     12082      4906      1610 
in_size_order <- size_order(ggplot2::diamonds$cut, 2, "Others")
table(in_size_order)
#> in_size_order
#>     Ideal   Premium Very Good    Others
