Data order in output

I am glad that you searched the Group before posting.  Also, you can 
always ask PST Web Support at 
support.pstnet.com/e%2Dprime/support/login.asp (and then report back 
here with their response), they strive to respond to all requests in 
24-48 hours.  But here's my take.

You could do this with some clever use of the Analyze tool in 
E-DataAid.  (And much more besides -- as I have said before, 
E-DataAid deserves much more respect than most labs give it.)  So 
first I would have you study the E-DataAid chapters in both the 
User's Guide and the Reference Guide that came with E-Prime, and then 
go on to explore the possiblities of the Analyze tool.

Otherwise, of course, you could always do what most labs do and just 
export the data to Excel and handle it all there (e.g., sort it on 
the TrialList column, and perhaps automating more data preparation 
using custom Excel macros).  But E-DataAid Analyze makes data 
preparation so much easier, well worth learning that first.
