I'm working with the birth recode file of the Bangladesh 2017-18 survey and I'm trying to tabulate child's birth order by place of delivery (in other words: does place of delivery vary by birth order of the child?). If it's easier, this could be equally well represented by a tab of mother's parity and place of delivery.

This dataset seems not to contain the BORD variable, and bidx doesn't really serve my purpose because birth order is what I'm after. Is there a way to calculate birth order? Thanks!
