seems to have this problem, sorting by wage or lwage have the same
results. The one downloaded from POE’s don’t.
What do the bad results look like?
We probably also need to know, how exactly are you sorting? There are
three ways of doing this in gretl:
1) Using the sort() function, as in
series wage_sorted = sort(wage)
2) Using the "dataset" command with the "sortby" parameter.
3) In the GUI, by displaying a series and using the sort icon.
