Sort dataset alphabetically based on multiple variables?

[monsterpie]

Hello all,

I have a dataset with 5 variables and I am trying to sort my observations alphabetically across all 5 variables. Is this at all possible in SAS?

Try

Proc Sort data=yourdatasetname;

   by firstvar secondvar thirdvar fourthvar fifthvar;

run;

If that doesn't get the result you want then be prepared to share some data and what you expect the sorted result to look like.

Depends, please show an example. I would suggest looking at CALL SORTC() most likely.
