E Add the Age in years (age) and Household income in thousands (income) variables to
the Sort By list.
If you select multiple sort variables, the order in which they appear on the Sort By
list determines the order in which cases are sorted. In this example, based on the
entries in the Sort By list, cases will be sorted by the value of Household income in
