Description

I was thinking about trying to add a to_unordered method, then I thought maybe a reset_order (or reorder?) with an optional drop keyword à la reset_index makes more sense. I didn't see if this was possible yet, so this is also a question. Is this possible via some other syntactic sugar? I might see if I can hack this together at some point unless someone beats me to it. My motivation for this is that I'm getting all ordered or unordered factors using read_stata. This could be "fixed" there by taking a list in addition to the boolean convert to ordered or whatever, but I think a method like this would be generally useful, plus I never peak at data before reading it.
