Answer / hsong001
I agree that we can use the out= options in proc sort to
create a new data set for the sorted version. However,
sometimes we just forgot it. To prevent overwritten the
original data set that in a permanent library, we can specify:
options noreplace;
This will prevent accidentally overlaying the original data
set in case out= option is not specified.

Answer / ganesh
first create the dataset by giving some name after that
sort the data by specifying out option by giving new
dataset name. The dataset can be sorter either ascending or
descending by default it going to be an ascending.
Data god;
input name no sal;
datalines;
ab 12 3500
bc 13 4500
;
run;
proc sort data=god out=man;
by name;
run;
