<dd><p>How to create the levels of the generated factor:</p>
<p>* "default": uses labels where available, otherwise the values.
Labels are sorted by value.
* "both": like "default", but pastes together the level and value
* "label": use only the labels; unlabelled values become `NA`
* "values": use only the values</p></dd>
