I see they brought out the heavy hitters for this one.
Thank you, Vince, for your explanation - the fix works perfectly.
It is all painfully obvious in retrospect.  I had made an erroneous
assumption regarding the meaning of axis(1) and axis(2) in relation to
left and right.  I would dispute that I might think the ordered
placing of objects in the hierarchy to be "authoritarian".
Fortunately, as Vince's examples show, Stata allows fine-grained
control of the axis placement, allowing one to modify the defaults.
I now have a 	yscale(alt axis(2)) yscale(alt axis(1)) ///
in my graph code which sorts things nicely.
Incidentally, I had been using l1title("Left") r1title("Right") to
title the axes.
Many thanks,
DCE
