Re: st: does -mf_panelsetup- need presorted a panel with a numerical panel id?

A quick update: My code runs OK if I -tsset- and -sort- first on a
numerical panel id. So this look like an undocumented requirement.
It makes sense from Mata's capabilities, it is not there to collect
row "panelid == same string", but it still would be nice to document.
Thanks.
