I did spend a couple hours trying to get the scales to be the same and couldn't figure out a way to do it without making large scale changes to flare. If anyone knows the right way to do small multiples in flare, please fill me in. The categories are currently ordered by the time of day of its largest occurrence. This makes reading top to bottom roughly progress through the day. However, this is somewhat subtle and probably isn't worth the confusion introduced by having different orderings for weekdays and weekends. Both are good suggestions.

Search for drinking for an example. Two tiny suggestions: keep the scale on both plots the same and show the categories in the same order. Search for drinking for an example.
