How to align two lines in the same plots?

[Dan Su]

Hi Experts,

I used the twoway scatter with line command to create 2 lines in one plots. However, there is a lag for these two lines. How can I make these 2 lines vertically aligned? Basically I want to move the read dash line to the left a little bit and make those dots align vertically. Please see my codes below. Thanks!

Problem solved. I recoded the group variable, and added another variable called group2 to differentiate these 2 lines.
