Reorder taxa in otu_table/tax_table/refseq slot of a phyloseq object

Note that the taxa order in a physeq object with a tree is locked by the order of leaf in the phylogenetic tree.

Usage

reorder_taxa_pq(physeq, names_ordered, remove_phy_tree = FALSE)

Arguments

physeq: (required): a phyloseq-class object obtained using the phyloseq package.
names_ordered: (required): Names of the taxa (must be the same as taxa in taxa_names(physeq)) in a given order
remove_phy_tree: (logical, default FALSE) If TRUE, the phylogenetic tree is removed. It is

Value

A phyloseq object
