Order of rows by user define order

[Ronein]

Hello

Let's say that I have a  data set (summary report) and I want to re-order the rows.

The issue is that I don't want to order it by descending criteria and not by ascending criteria.

I want to to order it by order that I want to define in advance.

I want that order of rows will be by "team" :bcbfb, jdjfj,asddd

and within each team by Profit(from high value to low value).

Data Report;
input team $ sub_team $ Profit;
cards;
asddd a 10 
asddd b 30
asddd c 20
jdjfj a 40
jdjfj b 50
jdjfj c 15
bcbfb a 35
bcbfb b 46
bcbfb c 90
;
run;

/*The required order of rows is
bcbfb 
jdjfj 
asddd 
*/

Create a team order variable and sort by that. Use PROC FORMAT to assign the order:

proc format;
  value $team_order
  bcbfb = '1'
  jdjfj    = '2'
  asddd = '3'
  ;
run;

data want;
  set have;
  team_order = put(team, $team_order.);
run;

proc sort data = want;
  by team_order;
run;
