st: sort

["Hans J. Baumgartner" <hbaumgartner@diw.de>]

Dear statalist,

to describe my data, I decided to use the collapse command.

Since I have quite a few variables I am unhappy by sorting them in 
alphabetic order. Is it possible to sort them in a user-defined order?

The table 1 shall become table 2
table1
_var	_stat
age	50
exp	14
school 	5

table2
_var	_stat
age	50
school	5
exp	14

All suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks
Hans
