Hi,

I have a problem to sort a graph. The categorical variable trata is
not displayed for the proc gplot in alphabetical order. It seems proc
gplot has its own way to sort the data. Could you help me?

Thanks.

* Order data;
proc sort data=&entra.; by trata; run;

* Print graph;
ods listing;
proc gplot
data=&entra.;
   plot trata*estimate /
 
annotate=anno
   nolegend
  vaxis=axis1
  haxis=axis2
  noframe href = &linia. lhref = 20;
  format estimate
6.1;
run;
quit;

Switch your xvar with yvar:

  plot estimate*trata / annotate=3Danno ...

The plot statement is for Y*X, not X*Y.

Thanks but the trata variable has to be Y.

Then can you try sort by estimate and trata?

A character variable never cannot be used as the Y variable.
If you use a character variable as Y and have a numeric for X Proc
Gplot will silently switch them.
The order of the character variable on the X axis would be
alphabetical, regardless of the sorting.
The sorting will only be visible if you have a symbol statement that
connects the data points.
