Is there any way to reverse y-axis order in highlow plot? Taking this example "Stock trend in IBM" in SAS (https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/grstatproc/n19gxtzyuf79t3n16g5v26b73ckv.htm#p...).

title "Stock Trend for IBM";
proc sgplot data=sashelp.stocks
  (where=(date >= "01jan2005"d and stock = "IBM"));
  highlow y=date high=high low=low
   / close=close;
run;
title;


Default is low to high (Jan2005 to Dec2005) from bottom to top. How to make Date in Y-axis reverse order?

Simply add YAXIS REVERSE; statement. Axis appearance is controlled by the XAXIS and YAXIS statements.

title "Stock Trend for IBM yaxis reverse";
proc sgplot data=sashelp.stocks
  (where=(date >= "01jan2005"d and stock = "IBM"));
  highlow y=date high=high low=low
   / close=close;
   yaxis reverse;
run;
title;
