One of my boxplot's in a side by side got switched :(

[agille05]

Hi there!

Wondering if someone can assist me? One of my boxplot groups got switched (center one) and I'm unsure how to correct. 

This is my code:

Proc sgplot data=box dattrmap=myattrmap;
vbox age /category=cat group=gender nooutliers attrid=gen;
Where Gender in ("Male", "Female");
Keylegend / location=inside position=bottom;
Xaxis display=(nolabel);
Yaxis values=(2 to 20 by 4) minor display=(nolabel);
Run;

Thank you!

What order is the data in BOX?  Does it match the order you want or does it match the order you got?

[JOL · Accepted solution]

On the PROC SGPLOT statement try using the GROUPORDER= option.  Values are  DATA, REVERSEDATA, ASCENDING, DESCENDING

That worked! Thank you :). To the printer!

Try adding the Grouporder=Ascending (or Descending) to the VBOX statement. That should make the order of the group values consistent.
