Eviews stops working when sorting series in graph

Hi
If you open the graph object gr_pw4 in the attached workfile, and press object, view options and sort, Eviews stops working.
I have Eviews 8.1, build oct 14.
What is causing this?

It will be fixed in the next patch. EViews will error in future versions.
Were you just reporting the crash or did you also really want to sort? If you did want to sort, what were you expecting the output to look like?

Hi Jason
Yes I would like to have the graph sorted. Is there an easy way of doing this?

Correct me if I am wrong, but in that particular graph you are graphing a single value (such as the means per country).
Sorting in graphs normally means to sort the data in ascending or descending order. Since you are only graphing a single value, what would you like sorting to do?

you are correct. now, when i merge the graphs, i merge them according to their value:

The order of the series in the graph depends upon the order in which they are placed in to the group from which the graph was made. This cannot be changed. We'll investigate ways we could make sorting the series order of a group easier
