In datasets you often have variables like:

q1,q2,q3,q4,q5,q6,q7,q8,q9,q10,q11,q12.........

When these go into SmartPLS, they are sorted, in both the gui and the output like:

q1,q11,q12,q2,q3........

This does not seem intuitive. Would it perhaps be possible to change the sorting order, or perhaps have an option of the two and then unsorted perhaps?

Best Regards

I totally agree to the suggestion of Max Schmeling. In addition, It is required to list up the variable used in the output of the SmartPLS as I want to order, not following alphabet order: for example, the sequence of q1, q2, q3, q4, q5, p1, p2, p3.
