I'm trying to run the %centroids macro, but getting an error regarding the data not being sorted.

 

Is there a requirement on the input data set?

I couldn't find anything. 

 

950 %centroid(input,centers,id_var);

NOTE: There were 1 observations read from the data set WORK.input.
NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time):
real time 0.00 seconds
cpu time 0.00 seconds

NOTE: The data set WORK.DATA3 has 77141 observations and 11 variables.

 ERROR: BY variables are not properly sorted on data set WORK.DATA3.
