Currently, asdoc allows bysort prefix with only one variable. If you need to use two variables with bysort, then there is a workaround. Convert both the variables to a single with using the group function of egen, and then use the new variable with asdoc. see this example

egen Ctry_ID= group(Country IDType)

bysort Ctry_ID: asdoc sum Var1
