PROC SGPLOT variable reordering

[RobertHuey]

Hi all,

When I am plotting a graph using SGPLOT, SAS reorders my observations when plotting the bars for each month using a VBAR statement.  I was curious to see if there is a way to keep the original order of the observations.

The table looks as follows...

Month       Count

January    100,000

February  200,000

March       300,000

....

When graphed, the month names get all mixed up and out of order.  Please let me know if you have any solutions!

Thanks!

On the XAXIS statement, set DISCRETEORDER=DATA, and you should get what you expect.

That's perfect.  Thank you!
