Dear Stat Users,
i was wondering how to sort a numeric variable within the values. Here an example, var1 contains 2 values (12,21) i would like to sort within var1 in order to create var2 = (12,12)
var1 var2
12 12
12 12
12 12
12 12
21 12
21 12
21 12
21 12
furthermore i have the same question for a string variable, for example if i have var1 (A+E , E+A) i would like to create a var2 (A+E,A+E).
var1 var2
A+E A+E
A+E A+E
E+A A+E
E+A A+E
any ideas?
Thank you.
