同时生成和排序变量 [英] Generating and ordering a variable simultaneously

问题描述

我想避免对数据进行重新排序，以将生成的变量放在第一列中：

I would like to avoid re-ordering the data to place the generated variable in the first column:

sysuse auto, clear
gen random = runiform()
order random

是否可能生成一个变量并同时排序吗？

Is it possible to generate a variable and at the same time order it?

这个想法是当我在编辑器中浏览数据时能够直接观察生成的变量，当我有多个变量时，这并不容易。

The idea is to be able to directly observe the generated variable when I browse the data in the editor, which is not easy when I have several variables.

推荐答案

您可以使用 before（）选项：

sysuse auto, clear
generate random = runiform(), before(make)

您还可以按以下步骤进一步自动化该过程：

You can also further automate this process as follows:

unab var : *
gettoken var : var

generate random = runiform(), before(`var')
