dear all,
can you help me to sort only one series in ascending order in version 5?
i think series.sort is not available in version 5.
thanks,
sliang

I think the correct syntax would be:

Unfortunately that would sort the other series in the workfile by the target series too.

Other than by copying that single series into a new page, sorting that page, then copying it back, I cannot think of a way to do this in EViews 5.

How about this?
Edit: Gareth was right and I corrected the mistake.

That works in 6 (although I think you've got the second mtos wrong - you probably want sort_y not vector_y), but @sort was not implemented in EViews 5.

Thank you for your reply.
I wrote part of the program like this,
1. pagecopy(page=temp) x
2. sort x
3. copy x dest_name
4. pageselect untitled

I cannot figure out how to copy the sorted series
x in the newly created page, i.e., temp, back to
the original page, i.e., untitled.
In other word, how to refer the dest_name to the
original page in the third line above.

You want something like this:

It did not work because I've got an error message that says 'temp\x' is not defined.

A full set of commands would be something like: I presume you have EViews 5.1?

I bought and installed it around July 2004.
I am not so sure which version is it.

It worked.
Thank you very much.
