Like this?

sysuse auto ,clear
egen median = median(mpg) ,by(rep)
graph box mpg, over(rep, sort(med)) by(fore) name(gr1,replace)
set obs 76
replace fore = 1 in 75/76
replace rep = 1 in 75
replace rep = 2 in 76
replace med = 18 if rep == 2 & fore == 1
replace med = 20 if rep == 1 & fore == 1
graph box mpg, over(rep, sort(med)) by(fore) name(gr2,replace)
