I have been creating a dataset using epidata. I was looking through the documentation->codebook to get a sense of the distribution of values for the variables. I just noticed that the missing values appear at an almost random point in the otherwise ordered list (in this example, between 9 and 10).

tabulation: Freq. Pct. Value Label 2 3.8 3 1 1.9 4 2 3.8 5 6 11.5 7 7 13.5 8 7 13.5 9 6 11.5 . 21 40.4 10

Any ideas why this might happen?

thanks.
