Dear Statalist,

I have a variable of type %dN/D/Y.  Some of the dates are in years
2000-2005.  When I sort by this variable, Stata seems to recognize some of
the 2000-2005 dates as 1900-1905, hence putting them as the earliest date
rather than the most recent.  Any ideas as to how to get Stata to recognize
01/01/05 as a 2005 date rather than 1905?

Thanks,
Terra
