    <title>topic SAS 9.2 and GOPTIONS SORTMETH=BINARY in Graphics Programming</title>
    <link>https://communities.sas.com/t5/Graphics-Programming/SAS-9-2-and-GOPTIONS-SORTMETH-BINARY/m-p/18328#M391</link>
    <description>SAS/Graph 9.2 on z/OS (IBM mainframe) changes default-behavior with regard to chart bar sequencing (possibly more) with handling/ordering lowercase characters.  This condition was observed with SAS/Graph on z/OS (SAS (9.2 TS2M0 specifically), and has not been verified on any other OS platform.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
The direction given from SAS Support to generate consistent results with SAS 9.1.3 was to code the following GOPTIONS override:&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
GOPTIONS SORTMETH=BINARY;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
I wanted to pass this information along to others who may be interested.&lt;BR /&gt;
