Works nice for me. Did you forgot to attach the label to the variable? Do you
see the labels in the output of -tab category-? If not state
. label value category category
Aside: note that you can somewhat simplify your legend with
legend(size(vsmall)
order(1 "In 15 minutes" 2 "In 30 minutes" 3 "In 45 minutes"
4 "In 60 minutes"))
Many regards
