Re: st: Graph bar using the over option

What you wanted is to have your times (ordered correctly) over your  
variables, not your variables grouped by time, which is what you got.  
The help file for graph bar talks about what you can expect under  
different requests. You have to scroll way down to ``remarks'',  
specifically where it gives pictures of year and division.
