One of my boxplot's in a side by side got switched :(

Hi there!

Wondering if someone can assist me? One of my boxplot groups got switched (center one) and I'm unsure how to correct.

This is my code:

Proc sgplot data=box dattrmap=myattrmap;
vbox age /category=cat group=gender nooutliers attrid=gen;
Where Gender in ("Male", "Female");
Keylegend / location=inside position=bottom;
Xaxis display=(nolabel);
Yaxis values=(2 to 20 by 4) minor display=(nolabel);
Run;

Thank you!

What order is the data in BOX? Does it match the order you want or does it match the order you got?

On the PROC SGPLOT statement try using the GROUPORDER= option. Values are DATA, REVERSEDATA, ASCENDING, DESCENDING

Try adding the Grouporder=Ascending (or Descending) to the VBOX statement. That should make the order of the group values consistent.
