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.
