Dear All, Suppose I have the following dataframe:
country;weight;group bul;10;1 cze;12;1 grc;12;1 hun;12;1 prt;12;1 rom14;1 fra;29;2 ita;29;2 gbr;29;2 aut;10;3 bel;12;3 The "group" variable denotes the id-number of a group of countries. How can I re-label the groups in the descending order of their cumulative "weight", which wound be: country;weight;group fra;29;1 ita;29;1 gbr;29;1 bul;10;2 cze;12;2 grc;12;2 hun;12;2 prt;12;2 rom14;2 aut;10;3 bel;12;3 The first group has the largest sum of weights, the second, with the second largest, and so on.
