Hello,


I want to sort years in column sequentially. For example, 


Data have 

id  year
1 1998
1 1998
1 1999
1 1999
1 2000
1 2000
1 2000
1 2000
1 2001



Data want

id  year
1 1998
1 1999
1 2000
1 2001
1 1998
1 1999
1 2000
1 2000
1 2000

 

Thank you so much!

You'll need to add a variable to indicate the proper order.  For example:

data want;
   set have;
   by id year;
   if first.year then order=1;
   else order + 1;
run;

Then all you need to do is sort the data:

proc sort data=want;
   by id order year;
run;
