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.

Thanks for your help,
Serguei Kaniovski
