Some further suggestions for Moleps on 1).
-catplot- is a user-written program on SSC. (Please recall the request
to explain where user-written stuff you refer to comes from.)
Moleps is using the -graph bar- option -over()- as part of his call to
-catplot-. The help for -graph bar- explains that you can insert
sub_options into the -over()- call.
If that does not serve, you need to re-order your categories beforehand:
that is, it is a data management problem. In addition to Maarten's
suggestion, note -recode-.

The -axis()- function within the -egenmore- package is specifically
designed to deal with that problem. You can download -egenmore- from
SSC by typing -ssc install egenmore-.
