But -browse- doesn't allow your to specify the order of the variables browsed without first re-ordering the varlist (in Stata 11) . This was Sergiy's point in his question posed to StataCorp. Markus Hahm mentions in the help file for -ebrowse- that:
" ebrowse is almost identical to browse except that ebrowse orders the variables to be
displayed by varlist. Currently, in Stata 11, browse does not order these variables.
However, previous versions of Stata did, hence ebrowse is not necessary for these
versions. "
I wasn't aware that Stata versions <10 allowed -browse- to order the variables (and I don't have a copy to test this on), but maybe this explains the contradictory advice in this thread -- it all depends on the version of Stata your using.
