st: controlling -sort- within a complex graph

[Michael McCulloch <mm@pinest.org>]

Hello,
I would like to sort this graph by a variable <idnum>. Whether I place the 
sort option sort(idnum) within the -twoway- section of the -scatter- 
section of code, either way the sort displayed is always in descending 
order, whereas I would like the display in ascending order. Any suggestions 
would be greatly appreciated.

        twoway rcap min95 max95 Model if parmseq==1, horizontal 
msize(huge) ///
        xtitle(Hazard Ratio and 95% Confidence Interval, margin(0 0 0 5)) ///
        ytitle(Analysis Method) ylabel( 1 "II" 2 "II" 3 "IIIA", angle(h)) 
mlabel(idstr) ///
        || scatter Model estimate if parmseq==1, msize(medlarge) legend(off)






Best wishes,
Michael McCulloch
