Default Sorting with Multiple Rows per Entry

Try this:

Select the whole data list, including column headings.
DataSort
Select the column you want to sort by.
Click the [OK] button

That column will sort and all of the other cells will sort appropriately.

Does that help?

I've come upon a problem with sorting that I don't know how to
tackle... I have entries in a workbook that I want to sort by a
transaction number, but each entry spans multiple rows. One "entry"
might look like this, for example:

TransID PassengerName Ticket#
leg of travel: Departure Arrival
leg of travel: Departure Arrival

I need to be able to sort by TransID or PassengerName while keeping the
"legs of travel" attached to the correct TransID/Ticket#.

Any Suggestions?
Thanks,
Andrew
