Sorry if I'm missing it, but where is disable.factor.sorting actually used? I'm looking for something like this in create.boxplot().

Ah, it must've just showed up in the changes alongside your actual changes. Sorry about the confusion.

@dan-knight : the new parameters are strip.col, strip.cex, strip.fontface, layout - all used in create.scatterplot and create.boxplot
