Usage Note 14181: XPORT engine does not support SORTEDBY operations. SORTEDBY information cannot be copied

DetailsAboutRate It
When creating a transport file with the XPORT engine, you may receive
the following warning.

   WARNING: Engine XPORT does not support SORTEDBY operations. SORTEDBY
   information cannot be copied.

This is an expected warning.  There is no way to remove it other than to
first remove the SORT flag, then create the transport file.

The example below uses the SORTEDBY= data set option to remove the
SORT flag.

   data sashelp.class(sortedby=_null_);
     set sashelp.class;
   run;

To restore the SORT flag, resort the data on the intended host.

The XPORT engine does not support SORTEDBY operations.

Beginning in SAS 6.12, SORTEDBY operations are supported with the
CPORT procedure.
