Legend placement for xtline var1 var2, legend(position(6)) does not work

[Felix Kaysers]

I am trying to place my legend at the bottom of my graph when I am plotting two variables in my xtset data. Using help legend, I have read on the position(clockposstyle), but I can not get the legend to show up at position(6). Instead it always stays at position(3). MRE:

* Clearing existing data and setting up
clear
set obs 64

* Creating the panel identifiers
gen country_id = ceil(_n/4)
gen year = 2001 + mod(_n-1, 4) + 1  

* Labelling countries for readability
label define country_label 1 "Country01" 2 "Country02" 3 "Country03" 4 "Country04" 5 "Country05" 6 "Country06" 7 "Country07" 8 "Country08" 9 "Country09" 10 "Country10" 11 "Country11" 12 "Country12" 13 "Country13" 14 "Country14" 15 "Country15" 16 "Country16"
label values country_id country_label  

* Setting up the panel data structure
xtset country_id year  

* Generating random variables x and y
set seed 0
gen x = rnormal()
gen y = rnormal()  

* Display the first 20 observations
list country_id year x y in 1/20, sepby(country_id)  

xtline x y, legend(position(6))

xtline x y, byopts(legend(position(6)))

Thank you! Of course, it had to be that easy.
