Graph: How to omit one particular label in the legend

[Guest]

Hello all,

I face a little problem regarding the following Graph:

gr tw (scatter unemployed_educ_ter_perc labour_force_ter if sample_selection == 1, legend(label(1 Low & Lower-Middle Income))) ///
(scatter unemployed_educ_ter_perc labour_force_ter if sample_selection == 2) ///
(function y=x, range(0 60)), title("Share of Labour Force vs. Unemployment ""(Tertiary Education), lates year available (%)", size(medium)) ///
note("Source: International Labour Organization internal database, available upon request.", size(vsmall) ring(5) position(5)) ///
legend(label(1 Low & Lower-Middle Income) label(2 High Income) size(small) region( lcolor (white))) xtitle("Share of labour force with tertiary level of education", size(small)) ///
ytitle("Share of unemployed with tertiary level of education", size(small)) xlabel(0(10)60, labsize(small)) ylabel(0(10)60, labsize(small)) graphregion(color(white)) bgcolor(white) play (**MY_RECORDING**)


The y=x line is a reference line. I would like to omit the line, therefore, it from the legend. However, I have not found a good solution.

neither label(3 "") nor omitting the label does resolve my issue. Any thoughts and comments are highly appreciated!


Solution/Update: I have now set
region(lcolor(white)) for the legend

then: I hide the object in the manual graph editor and add the play command in the graph. Still, any more sophisticated solution is highly welcome!
Best

Use the legend(order ()) option:

 set obs 100
 gen x = runiform()
 gen x2 = runiform()
 gen y= runiform()
 scatter y x2 x || function  y = x || , legend(order(1 "Variable 1" 2 "Variable 2"))

That worked perfectly! Thank you very much. I think both are solutions, but your's is of course much more elegant. I hope this might also help some people who encounter the same problem.
