One possibility could be:

*------------------------------
mat swr = J(100,2,.)
mat colnames swr = ndraw draw

clear
set obs 4
gen x4 = _n*10+1

forval i = 1/100 {
	cap drop u
	gen u = runiform()
	sort u
	loc d = x4[1]
	mat swr[`i',1] = `i'
	mat swr[`i',2] = `d'
}
	
mat li swr
*------------------------------

But have a look at Bill Gould's nice blog postings on random number
generation in Stata, especially part 3:
