Hello

I am using proc freq to create 2 way freq table.

The problem is that I want to control the following issues:

1-Order of  rows  will be by the total freq of each category of  field Z2

2-Order of columns will be be order of numbers in field Z1: 2 3 4 5 6

When I use order=freq then order of rows is correct but order of columns (Z2 categories) is not as I want

 

data rawdata;
input ID  Z1  Z2 $;
cards;
1 2 xjfjjj
2 3 djdjdj
3 3 xjfjjj
4 4 djdjdj
5 5 xjfjjj
6 5 djdjdj
7 6 djdjdj
8 6 asasas
9 6 asasas
10 6 djdjdj
;
run;


PROC FREQ DATA=rawdata order=freq ;
TABLE  Z2* Z1/ MISSING NOPERCENT NOCOL  norow   ;
RUN;

It is perfect and thank you for the solution.

 

I want to ask please what is the way to do it via proc freq.

When I use "order=freq "  then I control the order of the rows but why the order of the columns(Var Z1) is changed?

I think it is hard for PROC FREQ . Maybe somebody could shed a light .
