Hello Sebastian,
Thanks for your suggestion. However, -gsort- may not be helpful. For
example, if there is no missing data and still I want to insert a row in
1, gsort will fail. I think -expand- will only work for duplicate
options. By using [_n] function, the problem can be solved, but that
might not be effective utilization of time given that I have to repeat
for a large number of variables.
Thanks
Regards
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-.
