Statscraft 0.7.0, release v0.7.0

SORT VARIABLES

Put the variables in order by a property of their dictionary entries.

Syntax

SORT VARIABLES [BY] NAME | TYPE | FORMAT | LABEL | VALUES | MISSING | MEASURE | ROLE | COLUMNS
               | ALIGNMENT | ATTRIBUTE name [(A | D)].
A or UP is ascending (the default), D or DOWN reverses the whole order.
NAME: letters without regard to case, then a number at the end by its value (v2 before v10).
TYPE: numeric, then strings from narrow to wide. FORMAT: by format type in the order of the
data file codes (A, COMMA, DOLLAR, F, ... DATE ...), then width and decimals.
LABEL, VALUES, MISSING, ATTRIBUTE: variables without one come first; then labels and
attribute values without regard to case; value labels and missing values so that equal
definitions sit together. MEASURE: nominal, ordinal, scale. ROLE: input, target, both, none,
partition, split. COLUMNS: display width (default 8 for numbers, the width for strings).
ALIGNMENT: left, right, center. Variables that tie keep their order.
