st: re-sorting display order after -encode-

Hello,
I have used -encode- to add value labels from string variable, which are a series of numerical ranges stored as text.

-codebook- shows the frequency data, and Label values, were correct.
Freq.   		Numeric  	Label
121         	1 	 		0-20
16         		2  			1,001+
36         		3 		 	101-500
81         		4  			21-100
8         		5  			501-1,000

However, I wish to display them using -tab- so that the rows are sorted on the value label.
The -encode- help file does not suggest this is possible. Is there a workaround?

What I want to achieve is -tab- showing this:
Label			Freq  			
0-20			121  	 		
21-100			81
101-500			36
501-1,000		8
1,001+			16


Best wishes,
Michael McCulloch
