Hi there,

I'm wondering if there's a quick way to sort the elements of a one matrix according to another?

I currently have two matrices, one containing rates of change for a class of variable (rows = date of observation, columns = variable) and the other containing the weights that apply to each of those variables. I'd like to re-order the columns of this second matrix according to the rank of each variable in the first for each month.

I think @rapplyranks will get me there if I loop through each row, extracting, sorting and @matplace-ing. But I was hoping there might be a shortcut.

Thanks very much.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I'm running EViews 11.

Hello,

It sounds like you'll have different orderings for different groups of rows in the matrix, so there's really no better way than to loop through the rows yourself.
