Default sort

Thanks.
Since we are at it, is there possible to generate a sequence? For
example I have a excel file and I want to insert a column to the left
and fill that column with a sequence, so that each row is numbered
form 1 though the highest row number? Thanks again.

If you have Excel 2003 then you will have to avoid
the Ctrl+A problem introduced with that version

How can I sort the columns in my excel file when it exceeds more than
3? Suppose I have a excel file that has 100 columns and several
thousand rows. How can I sort the file based on 10 columns? Thanks.- Hide quoted text -
