Nick,

Thanks.  I have been trying to use the -sort(,)- function but I don't think
it will do what I want.  

I have found a partial solution: -y = x[r,1]- will permute vector x
according to vector r (see [M-1] p. 52)  

. mata
------------------------------------------------- mata (type end to exit)
--: x = (6,9,2,4,7)'

: t = (1, -1,-2,2,0)'

: r = (2, 4, 5, 1, 3)'

: y = x[r,1]

: y
       1
    +-----+
  1 |  9  |
  2 |  4  |
  3 |  7  |
  4 |  6  |
  5 |  2  |
    +-----+


My new question is how to turn the vector t into the rank order vector r?

Scott
