I did later. But note that the version of -rowsort- on SSC is superseded
by that in the Stata Journal.

The -sort- command orders by rows, not by columns. To use it, you would
be
in the rare situation to have to apply -xpose-.
Apart from that, -ssc d rowsort- comes to mind, although NJC himself
does
not mention it in his post...

This is too simplified and could be any number of things.
Renaming or re-ordering your variables may be quite enough to solve your
problem. See, e.g., -order-.
If that doesn't make sense, please explain in more detail what your
problem is.

I have a quick (and probably simple) question: I would like to "sort" my
dataset over several variables. At the moment my dataset looks like this
(very simplified example):
Var1 Var2 Var3 Var4
1000 3000 2000 500
And should look like this:
Var1 Var2 Var3 Var4
500 1000 2000 3000
