Subject   st: generating variable that reflects order of values of another variable
Date   Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:28:21 +0100

Dear all,

Suppose I have N observations on a variable var1. How to generate
another variable var2 which takes on values 1 to N, where 1 is assigned
to the observation with the lowest value of var1, N is assigned to the
observation with the highest value of var1, and all other values between
1 and N are assigned accordingly?

Thanks.
