Hi,
I have a dataset which has the following values for cyclename variable.:
Cycle 1
Cycle 2
Cycle 3
Cycle 4
Cycle 5
Cycle 11
Cycle 12
When i SORT IT BY CYCLENAME, Cycle 11 and cycle 12 come before cycle 2,
Cycle 1
Cycle 11
Cycle 12
Cycle 2
Cycle 3
Cycle 4
Cycle 5
How do I fix this so that cycle 11 and 11 come at last?
Thanks,
Archana
You will need a special option in Proc Sort:
data have; input var $10.; cards; Cycle 1 Cycle 11 Cycle 12 Cycle 2 Cycle 3 Cycle 4 Cycle 5 ; proc sort data=have out=want sortseq=linguistic(Numeric_Collation=ON); by var; run;

Here is another solution, although I like the proc sort option, that is new to me:
proc sql;
create table want as
select *
from have
order by input(scan(var,2,' '),8.);
