title: Stata. How to order variables in a customized order?
body: <p>I have the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>state income stateID race year education
   IL     200    12     2    12    15
   ML     230    32     12    2    10
   ....................................
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way to switch variables' spots, so that it appears like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>state stateID  year  income  race  education
    IL     12    12     200     2     15
    ML     32    2      230     12    10
   ....................................
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>NOT <code>order _all</code>. I do not need alphabetical ordering, I need customized ordering.</p>
