Reordering ordinal values

PeterD
Level II

Hi

I have a dataset that was pulled from Survey Monkey and there are a variety of answers to questions that are ordinal--and not well ordered.  

 

For instance Purchase Intent has five values--JMP defaults to order alphabetically (which makes no sense of course)

Definitely would

Definitely would not

Might or might not

Probably would

Probably would not

 -- how can I reorder this more logically so that when I show the analytic results with values in the logical order?

Definitely would  |  Probably would  |  Might or might not | Probably would not | Definitely would not

 

Peter

Re: Reordering ordinal values

Go to the column header.  Right Click and select "Value Order".  It will let you set the order of the values.

Re: Reordering ordinal values

Let me help you out some more.  The Discovering JMP Document, under the Help pull down menu gives one a real "leg up" when learning JMP.  I strongly suggest you take the time to read through it!  It will make you a far more efficient JMP user in the shortest time possible.
