Default Do a data sort to more levels at once


Is there a technique or add-on software or utility that will let me do a
Data Sort in excel by 4 or more levels at once. Currently you can only
do 3 levels at once. I'd rather not have to separate the files after
the first sorting operation, in order to sort more types of fields.

Why not concatenate the 4 fields together and sort on that one field.
You'll have to be a bit careful how you do this otherwise you wont end
up with things in the order you want, but this might work

I don't understand when you say "separate the files".

Simply select your *entire* datalist, then perform a sort on the least
(last) sort key.
Now, just do it (the sort) again, with your 3 remaining sort keys in the
proper order (1st, 2nd, 3rd).

No need to do *anything* between the sorts.

There's a program called DigDB.

Try this web address:

It may be of some help.

Have a great day!

Just do the sorting multiple times.

Do the 3 most important fields last.
