I'm working with a large dataset, with over 800 variables. I would like to be
able to arrange my columns alphabetically, by variable name. So, let's
pretend I had only three variables, instead of 800: "cars," "boats," and
"animals." These three variable names also serve as my column labels. I'd
like have the three columns sorted alphabetically, so that the "animals"
column appears first, then the "boats" column, then the "cars" column.

Is there a way to do that? Thanks!

In the Sorting dialog, there is an Options button, which gives the "Sort
Left to Right" choice.........
