Hello, I was looking through all discussions but couldn't find a proper answer.

The situation is that I have a bar chart and I cannot find the way to sort it out - descending or ascending.

The code I have is:

Title 'Tasks done table';

proc sgplot data=go.Tasks_done;

vbar Name / response = Total datalabel group = Total GROUPORDER= ASCENDING;

label total = 'Taks'

name = 'Names';

run;

quit;

and table 'Tasks_done' consists of:

Total     Name

2000     John

3000     Tom

Result is:

So I tried to put Descending or Ascending in code, but I couldn't. Lastly I figured out I need to have group option so then I can use Grouporder = ascending/descending. But my chart is not affected...The I read something about changing axis type (because as I understood I need axis to be 'Discrete' type or something like that.) But when I get deeper, it is getting more and more complicated. Can someone help me out with this?? If possible, could You alter my code or show examples so I could understand it better how to do this thing, cuz I am really stuck for some time with this,

Thank You!

You could use a XAXIS statement with option REVERSE or option DISCRETEORDER=DATA and sort accordingly. - PG
