Creating dummy variable for younger sisters [message #16157]

I am currently studying the effect of early marriage on education with Nigeria's 2013 DHS data - specifically the individual recode (female respondents). I am specifically using birth order as an instrumental variable and am having difficulty creating variables given that the dataset I'm using doesn't have clearly defined variables for number of older sisters, number of younger sisters, etc. MM1 (_01,_02,...) includes the sex of all siblings but does not indicate the order of birth they are in. Can someone please guide me on this?
