Chances are, that the original data was sorted on one column or another.
Just find that column and sort on it. If not, you're SOL.

BTW, in the future you might consider the AutoFilter to bring all your "x"'s
together for editing and reporting, then just un-AutoFilter and the data all
returns to its original status.

This may be a stupid question but I have a worksheet full of data and I
inserted a column a where I placed an x next to important data I wanted to be
able to pull to the top. I then sort my data by column a and excel pulls all
my x'd entries to the top. Nice, that's what I wanted. Now I play with my
data some more and print the first page with the important stuff and then I
want to go back to how my data was originally entered. I tried to go to data
- sort - sort by - none but I get an error that I can't sort by none. So,
how do I get back to my original view of my data?
