Re: st: descending sort with svy: tab

[Nick Winter <nw53@cornell.edu>]

One way to get what you want, assuming you don't need standard errors 
or confidence intervals, is us use -tabulate- with iweights (and NOT 
use -svy:-).

E.g.

  tab var1 if var2==1 [iw=weight], sort

This will give you the same point estimates as svy: tab, and allow 
you access to the sort option.

Best,
Nick WInter
