SPSS for newbies Arrange columns in ascending/descending order Video Lecture

hello everyone Phil from statistics
mental comm here in this short video I'm
going to show you how you can sort your
variables in ascending or dicen a cell
so we've got some fictitious data here
weight and height suppose I wish to sort
by weight so you see 5848 65 70 49 when
we sort by weight the height associated
height will be sorted as well so to sort
by weight we use the sort command and we
go data sort cases and then we transfer
the variable over to the sort by box we
want to sort by weight so we take that
over we wish to sort by ascending order
as opposed to descending and press ok
well what will happen is that these
weights here will be rearranged so in
ascending order so we should have you
can see from the numbers here
forty-eight should be at the top 49
should be the next one
but for take was the top 160 The
Associated height should also go up
there so let's see if that happens yes
it does so look wait 48 49 50 8 65 70
and the way it's here
48 the corresponding height 160 and
that's moved with it okay so just the
feature that might be useful to you
alright hope that's not helpful
oh because that is so simple let us just
say suppose you want to know what the
syntax for that is you go paste here and
that should bring up the syntax window
there you go so this is the command
data to activate and then the name of
the file and the command is solved cases
by and followed by the name of your
variable open bracket a and a for a for
ascending I supposed to decently let's
say want to do by descending now let's
do my code to change that A to D
descending let's highlight that block
let's play the play button let's see
what's happened okay so descending now
so exactly 70 65 58 49 50 just like that
okay hope that some helpful have a go
