Re: [Gretl-users] Gretl-users Digest, Vol 117, Issue 6

Dear Sven  thanks for your quick answer. My Gretl version is 2016-c but it does not matter. You are right, I didnt tell all the story. But was not for cheating. I tried to cut short the description of the problem.  I mentioned a matrix, but indeed I was working with a 1 row "matrix".  My  real problem is ranking some time series, day by day;  And the trouble is the sorting mismatch the names of the series with their values. (E.G.) If I have  A, B, C, D daily series and I want (recursively) rank their values at day t, and then at day t+1, and so on, I am in trouble,  because all my attempt of sorting does not keep the values with the original series names, while in Excel is trivial. I tried in many ways, unsuccessfully.  My last attempt was a) limiting the whole dataset to only 1 day, (by smpl) b)  declaring it as a one row matrix c) giving it the right names (via colnames) d) ranking the values  but as before, I got the (values) rank but I lost the match with the names of time series. So any help, or reference to the User Guide, will be greatly appreciated.
