The -sort- command orders by rows, not by columns. To use it, you would be
in the rare situation to have to apply -xpose-.

Apart from that, -ssc d rowsort- comes to mind, although NJC himself does
not mention it in his post...

This is too simplified and could be any number of things. 

Renaming or re-ordering your variables may be quite enough to solve your
problem. See, e.g., -order-. 

If that doesn't make sense, please explain in more detail what your
problem is.

I have a quick (and probably simple) question: I would like to "sort" my
dataset over several variables. At the moment my dataset looks like this
(very simplified example):

Var1   Var2   Var3    Var4 
1000   3000   2000    500

And should look like this:

Var1    Var2    Var3    Var4
500      1000    2000    3000
