[@bahadurjawed668]

Great explanation

[@rafayansari7772]

The method is great, but I have a problem. My labels are 1 - Never, 2 - Almost Never, 3 - Sometimes, 4 - Almost Always, 5 - Always. And as you can observe they are not alphabetical but the autorecode function gives 1 - Almost Always, 2 - Almost Never, 3 - Always, 4 - Never, 5 - Sometimes. How do i fix this.
I even tried first autorecoding as giving and then going in variable view to change the values but there is no effect.

[@willem9046]

same problem here, did you solve it?

[@nihadashraf1072]

Why dont u do coding first in excel. Like likert scale
