I have 3 variables that can take the values 1 up to 3 and the data looks
something like this
obs var1 var2 var3
1 2 2 1
2 2 2 1
3 1 2 3
4 3 3 3
I would like to obtain a table that says how many observations I have of
each existing combination. But I would like this table to have a
"description" for each of the combinations. i.e. the resulting table
would be something like this:
var1 var2 var3 count
1 2 3 1
2 2 1 2
3 3 3 1
Note also that the lines in the table are ordered by the values of var1,
var2 and var3.

Nick Cox made the -groups- command; it does what you want. Get it by:
ssc install groups
Hope this helps
