Hello Eva,

Please find the code below . My apologies for the inconvenience.

local num=_N

forvalues index=1/`num'{

	forvalues j = 1/12 {
		local i=`j'
			while `i' <=12 {
				if ( node`i'[`index']<node`j'[`index'] ){
				
				local dummy=node`i'[`index']
				replace node`i'=node`j'[`index'] in `index'
				replace node`j'=`dummy' in `index'
		
				}
				local i=`i'+1
			}
	}

}

Thank you for your help,
Ashim.
