gchart: maintain data order

deleted_user — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:07:15 GMT

I would like to maintain the order of my data according to the variable q1 ("Strongly Agree" "Agree" "Disagree" "Strongly Disagree") in the following code:
proc gchart data=bar6;
hbar role / discrete
type=sum sumvar=perq
subgroup=q1

"role" is either "manager" or "employee".
I would like the subgroup bars on my gchart (ie q1) to be in the order given above (along with the legend having that order).
Also, I would like to maintain the colors used in my legend (eg "Strongly Agree" is always red, "Agree" is always orange, etc).

I created a varible q where "Strongly Agree"=1, "Agree"=2, etc and sorted accordingly.
Is there an option for order=data?

1. use variable q instead of q1 in chart; 2.create format for 1,2,3 to display strongly,agree,etc; 3.define format for variable q in proc gchart.

here's a link an example for keeping the colours constant ... http://support.sas.com/kb/24/874.html
