Kartick

looking at your example it seems more to be a sort problem. Try

gsort ABC, mfirst

This will sort your data by entries in ABC in ascending order with
missing values first.

If you would like to add observations to a dataset, you could use
-expand-. This command allows you to add extra observations by copying
existing ones, e.g., expand 2 in 1 will append a full copy of your
dataset's first observation and append it to the very end of the
dataset. Find out more about -expand- with -help expand-.
