Dear John!

-sortvar- worked like an absolute charm.

You have my sincerest gratitude 5 days before the thesis-deadline!

What happens is that the variable that is used in the second regression only (hh_risk_2) appears at the bottom row of the table. Initially, only one of the variables was included in each regression, but I included both variables in both regressions and added the drop() option in an attempt to let the variable appear but without the results. This did not work.
