proc freq by default displays crosstab in ascending order as shown below. Is it possible to have the crosstab display in descending order? I need to have the tabs display 5 to 1 . Thanks!

proc freq data=star ;
tables A1_1*A1_2 / nopercent nocol norow;
run;.

Did you consider the ORDER=FREQ parameter on the PROC FREQ statement?
