is there a way to sort just ONE variable without changing the rest of the

This is one of those questions that makes you curious why somebody would
want to do that (but then again I ask lots of questions like that)... How
about something like
use dataset
keep sortvar
sort sortvar
ren sortvar sortedvar
merge using dataset
