This function plots small area estimates with error bars.
Multiple sets of estimates can be compared. The default ordering of the estimates
is by their area population sizes.
This method uses a plot function that is adapted from function
coefplot.default of package arm.

)sae objects, dc_summary objects (output by the summary method for
simulation objects of package mcmcsae), or lists.
The first object must be a sae object.
In case of a list the components
used are those with name est for point estimates, se
for standard error based intervals or lower and upper for
custom intervals. Instead of dc_summary objects matrix objects are
also supported as long as they contain columns named "Mean" and "SD" as do
dc_summary objects. Named parameters of other types that do not match any
other argument names are passed to lower-level plot functions.
number of standard errors below and above the point estimates
to use for error bars. By default equal to 1. This only refers to the
objects of class dc_summary and sae.
labels to use in the legend for the components of the ... argument
vector by which to sort the coefficients, referring to the first object passed.
if TRUE, sort in decreasing order (default).
vector of names or indices of the selected areas to be plotted.
maximum number of rows in a column.
maximum number of columns of estimates on a page.
"sae" for small area estimates (default), "coef" for coefficients, "raneff" for random effects.
space used between plots of multiple estimates for the same area.
the fontsize of the variable names, default=0.8.
a numerical vector of the form c(bottom, left, top, right) which gives the number of lines of margin to be specified on the four sides of the plot.
