Since you are a new member I am going to tell you the rules of the forum once again.

1. Please Search before posting!

2. Use meaningful topics (don't use the Forum name for the topic). Avoid putting "urgent" in your topics. This rule specifically applies to you now. How do you relate a topic title "SDSF" with sorting of memberlist in a PDS? I am going to the edit the title and move to the right forum.i.e TSO

3. Post detailed information on what you're trying to accomplish. Do not make people guess what you mean. This will give you a much better chance of getting a good answer to your question.

4. Post your question only once and in only one forum. Do not append your question to an existing which is not related to your current question. Posting the same question in multiple forums is rude and can cause confusion and frustration for the people that are attempting to help you. I deleted your duplicate post.

Now to answer your question specifically, open your PDS in edit mode. check this link which explains in detail about the Data Set List Utility Primary Commands . Read the topic 1.4.5.5.12 SORT Command which will answer your query.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu

ISPF does not have a specific way to alter or save the sort order for a particular PDS.

[technically, you can install a new translate table to modify the collating sequences for sorting, but that would affect all sorts, edit, member lists, data set lists, TBSORT, and anywhere else characters are compared. You definitely don't want to do that. I only mention it as a matter of academic interest. I tried it years ago and it makes for a, shall we say, "fun" experience in ISPF. It is the facility used to support different character sets for different languages, each of which has a different EBCDIC collating sequence.]
