AFAIK,
Excel sorts one column at a time from last to first. For example, if you
select Col.s A first, then B second then C third, Excel sorts C then B then A.

Hope this helps.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi Everyone:

I was wondering if any of the excel experts and MVP's know what algorithm
excel is using for their sorting command (Data - Sort). I am trying to do
something similar to Excel's sort that sorts column 1, then 2, then 3. All
the algorithms that I have seen, only sort one column.

Thanks for all your help.
