In Get Priority.sps, I am trying to apply these directions
https://www.census.gov/topics/public-sector/congressional-apportionment/about/computing.html to House2020.sav. In the SPSS syntax, I have a sorted variable “Priority” which is the priority in which a seat is the House of Representatives is assigned a seat. So the first time Alabama occurs in the list it gets 1 assigned to “StateSeat” the second time Alabama occurs it gets a 2 assigned to “StateSeat” and so forth for all 50 states. The variable needed is “ this is the nth time the state occurred in the sorted list of priorities”. Census Bureau’s results are shown in 2020PriorityValues.xlsx Get_Priority.sps House2020.sav 2020PriorityValues.xlsx Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Art. If I follow, I think this gives what you're looking for, or at least the numeric part of it.
SORT CASES BY State HouseSeat. * Set Appearance = 1 on the first row for each State. MATCH FILES FILE = * /BY State /FIRST=Appearance. FORMATS Appearance (F5.0). * Fill in the other values of Appearance. IF Appearance EQ 0 Appearance = LAG(Appearance) + 1. DESCRIPTIVES Appearance. * Restore original sort order. SORT CASES BY HouseSeat.

It did work.
I now have SPSS syntax that implements the apportionments of seats in the House Of Representatives. The results are identical to those produced by the Census Bureau. Just need to work on making it more readable etc for sharing.
