Default Advanced Sort Question

Yeah OK. What i think you need to do is insert a new column which you will
use to sort your data. In this column copy the contents of Row One into the
first two rows of your new column (ie row 1 and 2) - the contents of Row
Three into the next two rows of your new column (ie row 3 and 4) etc etc.

You can then sort on this new column.

Good luck.

I have an extremely large spreadshee I'd like to sort. The problem is I
want
pairs of rows to remain together throughout the sort and they can't be
merged

Ex: ( ) represented a column

Row One: (Data entry one) (Data Entry two) (Data Entry three)
Row Two: (More info on one) (More info on two) (More info on three)
Row Three: (Data entry three) (Data entry four) (Data entry five)
Row Four: (More info on three) (More info on four) (More info on five)

In the sort I would like Rows one and two to remain together and rows
three
and four to remain together, despite the sort.

Is there a way to lock these rows together?
