I have been trying to order above bars in the following order
CHILD(<12)
YOUTH(12-17)
YOUNG ADULT(18-25)
ADULT(26-64)
SENIOR(65+)
I couldn't figure out a way to do it in EG. Could you please provide some suggestion. Thank you

The code being generated in EG for this graph is using GCHART. Your best option is probably to use the MIDPOINTS option and list out the midpoints in the order you want them. In that case, you do not have re-map your values to numbers.
vbar age_group / midpoints=("CHILD(<12)" "YOUTH(12-17)" ... )
Hope this helps!

Is the axis label an actual character variable or the result of formatting a numeric?
It is a actual character variable.
Is your data already in that order?
Yes, they are. I even created a flag as shown below and plotted the data. This time all the bars were in order as I wanted but then I got into an issue of mapping them back. I dont know how to map like 1 back to CHILD(<12). If I dont use the flag though SAS forced all the bar appear in alphabetical order.
CHILD(<12) | 1 |
YOUTH (12-17) | 2 |
YOUNG ADULT (18-25) | 3 |
ADULT (26-64) | 4 |
SENIOR (65+) | 5 |
