one way to do it.
assuming your ranking is in coulumn D
insert new column E
in E2 enter
=D2
in E3 enter
=D2
copy E2:E3 and paste to the end of your data
sselect all and sort using column E

Hello everyone,

My data is in the following format, although on a much larger scale:

1 Country Var X Rank
2 USA # 1
3
4 India # 3
5
6 China # 4
7
8 Japan # 2

Basically, each country takes up two rows. However, I want to sort all
of the data based on the ranks. How can I do this and maintain each
country's two rows? I eventually want to build a macro, but if I just
knew how to sort it, I could use macro recorder. Thanks for the help!
