RE: st: RE: RE: Sorting rows in Mata

Hi Nick,
I did it, but it does not work.
mymat=(0,3,2,4\3,0,1,6\2,1,0,5\4,6,5,0)
sort(mymat', 1)'
And this is the output:
1 2 3 4
+-----------------+
1 | 0 2 3 4 |
2 | 3 1 0 6 |
3 | 2 0 1 5 |
4 | 4 5 6 0 |
+-----------------+
I do not need to sort only the first row, but all the rows like this:
1 2 3 4
+-----------------+
1 | 0 2 3 4 |
2 | 0 1 3 6 |
3 | 0 1 2 5 |
4 | 0 4 5 6 |
+-----------------+
Thanks.
Simone

The -sort()- function (not command) can do this for you, with
transposes before and after:
: sort(mymat', 1)'
