To my suggestion:
clear
input lineno pointno x y
1 0 0 0
1 1 2 3
1 2 3 2
2 1 2 3
2 3 4 2.2
end
sort lineno x
twoway scatter y x , connect(L)

Thank you for your reply. I don't quite follow the idea behind
connect(L). The help says it connects only if x[j+1] > x[j]. I did
not get it. I do see your point in the lineno / point no. I don't see
how connect(L) will "see" the lineno.
==================================================================
You are right, this will only work in some cases. To get better
answers, you should probably tell more explicitly what you want
to obtain and why. The best method also depends on the structure
of your data set.
