Automatic indentation of element texts
Quick reference
To indent element texts for subnets automatically, type:
netsort[=spaces_per_level]
More information
If you put netsort on the a or l statement, nets at each level below level 1 will be indented by 2 spaces per level. Thus, nets at level 2 are indented by 2 spaces (1x2 spaces); nets at level 3 are indented by 4 spaces (2x2 spaces), and so on. The elements comprising each net are indented by an additional two spaces.
Note Unlike most options that are valid on the a statement, netsort is not valid on sectbeg, flt or tab statements.
If you rewrite the example about orange juice using netsort, the first section of the table appears as:
Favorable Comments
Packaging
Liked Bottle
Liked Label
Liked Color
To indent by a different number of spaces, use netsort=n, where n is the number of spaces by which to indent.
To turn off netsorting for an individual table when netsort has been specified on the a statement, use one of these options on the l statement for that table’s row axis:
▪To turn off indentation, use netsort=0.
▪To turn off indentation and sorting, use nonetsort.
