2 Sum= 2+4
4 Sum=4

I'm confused! I thought the code I suggested DID preserve the order in both cases.
data CP;
input t;
recnum=_n_;
cards;

;
proc sort data=cp out=aa;
by descending recnum;
run;
data aa;
set aa;
sum+t;
run;
proc sort data=aa (drop=recnum);
by descending sum;
run;
data bb;
input t;
m=t+_n_*2;
