In brief, you can -reshape-, -sort- and -reshape-
back, or you can use -rowsort- from SSC. 
gen id = _n 
reshape long v, i(id) j(col) 
bysort id (v) : replace col = _n 
reshape wide v, i(id) j(col)

I have a large dataset with 5 variables that contains number 
in random 
order:
v1 v2 v3 v4 v5
28    1    25    22    14
23    2    3    34    39
6    16    8    24    19
3    45    8    1    37
4    23    27    33    10
16    41    33    13    21
...................................
................................
I want to sort them in such a way that the 
v1[i]<v2[i]<v3[i]<v4[i]<v5[i] 
for each i:
1 14 22 25 28
2 3 23 34 39
......
