Dear Mark,

Thanks for your help and sorry! I just found out that I mistook -rfprobit-
for -reoprob-. That was the (major) problem.

Best,
Tobias

-rfprobit- is a user-written random-effects probit, so it isn't making use
of the ordering.  Is this what you intended?  If so, you might want to try
-xtprobit-, which is the official Stata random-effect probit routine.
