I've also found that an 'attribute' statement before the 'set' statement
will rearrange the data.  The PDV is valued with the settings in the
attribute statement and then with the settings in the 'set' file.   Using
"label=" keeps the formats and lengths the same as in the set statement.

ex:
data two;
attrib member label='member';
set one;

This makes member the first variable in two.
