I am doing a bar plot using ggplot presenting relative abundances of organisms in a community at three sampling sites (column=factor). However, I would like that the facet grid separate the data according to their factor (all factor 1 in top grid, all factor 2 in middle grid, and all factor 3 in lower grid). Currently, all the samples (y value) appear in each grid.

and here is my command
df$Samples <- factor(facet$Samples, levels = c("DNAEES370m", "DNAEES150m", "DNAEES35m",
"DNAEES15m", "DNAEES5m", "DNAEDG75", "DNAEDG35m", "DNAEDG5m", "DNAHOR35m", "DNAHOR5m"))
# Create bar graph
ggplot(facet, aes(x = Samples, y = value, group = Taxa, fill = Taxa)) +
geom_bar(stat = "identity", colour = "black") +
theme_gray(base_size = 12, base_family = "") +
labs(shape = "", x = "", y = "Relative abundance (%)") +
scale_fill_manual(values = group.colors, breaks = c("Ciliates", "Dinoflagellates",
"MALVs", "Phaeocystales", "Prymnesiales", "Picozoa", "Cercozoa", "Chlorophyta",
"MASTs", "Pelagophyceae", "Other")) +
facet_grid(factor ~ ., scales = "free") +
coord_flip()
finally here is my current graph
Thank you!
