What is the error that is reported?
A couple of things stand out:
1. You have no -legend()- around the -order()- suboption.
2. It doesn't appear that the -legend(order())- (or the ytitle, yscale....)
are attached to one of the -line- commands.
Is this what you want:
sysuse auto,clear
twoway line mpg price if fore == 0 ,sort lc(blue) lp(dash) ///
|| line mpg price if fore == 1 , sort lc(black) ///
legend(order(1 "white sex ratio" 2 "black sex ratio"))
