Not quite sure what you're after here.
. sort foo bar
sorts on -foo- and within groups of -foo- on -bar-.
Similarly,
. bysort foo (bar) : <whatever>
does that and then does <whatever> for
distinct groups defined by -foo-.
There was a fairly detailed tutorial on -by:- in
Stata Journal 2(1), 86-102 (2002).
