according to a recent hint by Allin (and related to what's in the
cheatsheet chapter of the manual I guess) you could try:

dataset sortby your_x_variable

If the ordering is supposed to be descending, I'm guessing that you
would have to do:

genr sortkey = -your_x_variable
dataset sortby sortkey

no guarantees, but good luck,
