Your -cosort- routine is easier if a bunch of variables are involved. This
seems to do the trick too:
foreach var of varlist * {
egen s_`var' = clsort(`var')
}
This preserves the original data, if for some reason you need both the
original and sorted data together in the same file. (Not sure why you would
though, other than maybe the convenience of having one file rather than 2).
