RE: st: Sort order in graph box, over() by()
This seems to produce the same graph as
. sysuse auto, clear
(1978 Automobile Data)
. graph box mpg, over(rep78) by(foreign)
which appears unproblematic. So the trickery
of adding the extra observations seems unnecessary.
My reading of Stefan's posting is that this
is not an analogue of his problem.
