>From one Daniel to the next - thanks! :) This looks like exactly what I
need. If I try manually constructing a vector with the names like you did,
then it does order the bars. However, if I try to pass in an array, I get
the following. Please note - Im new to Julia so I may have some
misunderstanding about how array substitution works, or have made a newbie
syntax error. Based on your example though this seemed a logical
substitution.
Thanks!
