Stacking matched controls under respective cases

[wajmsu]

Hi all,

I need to make a sub-dataset out of the main data in a way that two controls are stacked below their respective case.  Any opinion or hint!
Thanks

1. Number each Case/Control set with a unique ID -> SetID

2. Create a variable where Case are 1, controls are 2 ->Case_Control

Then you can sort by SetID, Case_Control

Thanks Reeza!

Attached is my sample datasets wtih id numbers from sample and controls as paris; can you guide me how to do stacking with individual paris together?

Matched pairs with original IDs
Sample	Control 1	Control 2
5	70	99
12	43	101
22	125	51

ie create a table that looks like the following from your third table. Them merge in table 1/2  by ID and sort by N and Type2, I would recommend SQL.

N   Type    Type2  ID
1   Sample   1   5
1   Control   2   70
1   Control   2   99
2   Sample   1  12
2   Control   2   43
2   Control   2   101
