You can also use the -ds- command, for example:
sysuse auto, clear
order foreign weight length
ds // display list of variables and return the list in r(varlist)
local order `r(varlist)' // store the list in local macro order
* now re-open the dataset and reproduce the order we created earlier
sysuse auto, clear
order `order'
