r - loading dplyr after plyr is causing issues

Question

Test Case:

library(dplyr)
library(plyr)
library(dplyr)
mtcars%>%rename(x=gear)

This gives error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Based on @hadley's tweet. Best answer is to load plyr ALWAYS before dplyr, AND not load plyr again. Pasting his tweet for reference.
