graph hbar wage, over(occ7,
sort(occ7alpha)
)
We might want to put these bars in
alphabetical order (but with Other still
appearing last). We can do this by
recoding
occ7
into a new variable (say
occ7alpha
) such that as
occ7alpha
goes from 1 to 7, the occupations are
alphabetical. We recoded
occ7
with
these assignments: 4 = 1, 6 = 2, 2 = 3,
5=4,1=5,3=6,and7=7;see
[
R
]
recode
. Then, the
sort(occ7alpha)
option has the effect
of alphabetizing the bars.
