I'm sorry, can you repeat again what's the problem that needs to be
solved by this code?
Hi Sven,
The initial problem was to print out "m" greatest values of a series in
an descending order.
Right, sorry, I thought I was missing something. In the GUI this is
actually trivial in the sense that you can even sort a time series there
in the "show values" window. But in the CLI of course one doesn't want
to apply "dataset sortby" to a time series!
Coming back to your original worry about print with the --range option,
indeed it looks like a bug to me. (I also observe that "print ...
--range=x:y" doesn't honor the x and y values if the option --byobs is
_absent_.)
cheers
