Hi,
try like this:
data want;
do point = 10 to 1 by -1, 11 to nobs;
set sashelp.class nobs=nobs point=point;
output;
end;
stop;
run;
or like this:
data want2;
do point = 10 to 1 by -1;
set sashelp.class nobs=nobs point=point;
output;
end;
do until(eof);
set sashelp.class(firstobs=11) end=eof;
output;
end;
stop;
run;
or (like @Kurt_Bremser suggested) like this:
data want3;
do point = 10 to 1 by -1;
set sashelp.class nobs=nobs point=point;
output;
end;
stop;
run;
proc append base = want3 data = sashelp.class(firstobs=11);
run;
Mind that it is a reversed order of observations and not a reversed sort by name.
All the best

I can see no order here; please explain the rule for getting this sequence.
Sort the first 10 observations (OBS=10) in DESCENDING order to your want dataset, then append the rest (FIRSTOBS=11).
