With pleasure. See what you all make of this:
. use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r8/abdata.dta
. replace emp= emp/100
(1031 real changes made)
. replace wage= wage/100
(1031 real changes made)
. mylabels 0(25)100, myscale(@/100) local(label100)
0 "0" .25 "25" .5 "50" .75 "75" 1 "100"
. myticks 0(25)100, myscale(@/100) local(tick100)
0 .25 .5 .75 1
. twoway line emp wage year, xtitle("") ///
ylabel(.1 "100" .75 "75" .5 "50" .25 "25" 0 "0", angle(0)) ///
clpattern(dash) scheme(s1mono)
It produces a rather violent-looking graphic, as well as getting the
y-scale all mixed up (I'm not aware that anything needs to be -sort-ed).
Have fun.

Whereever you go and whatever you do, just remember this. No matter how
many like you, admire you, love you or adore you, the number of people
turning up to your funeral will be largely determined by local weather
conditions.
