Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the AdvancedFilter, but couldn't get
it
to work. Nothing seems to happen when I click the AdvancedFilter button.
Any more suggestions? Thanks!

Is there a way to (data) sort columns so that multiple values are
recognized?
I have a column labeled lawsuit type where I classify cases (.i.e.
fraud,
discrimination). Some lawsuits fall into multiples categories (both
fraud
and discrimination). Right now it's just sorting in alphabetical
order
and
only recognizes the first word I write in.
