The
descending
option switches the
order of the markers. They still are
ordered according to the seven levels of
occupation, but the markers are
ordered from 7 to 1.

graph dot tenure, over(occ7,

We might want to put these markers in
alphabetical order (but with Other
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

recode
. Then, the
sort(occ7alpha)
option alphabetizes
the markers (but with Other still
appearing last).
