Simple sort Problem
 
I am trying to sort a simple 3 column list, consisting of acolumn containing
M or F for Male Female, Name and a percentage value. I want to be able to
sort so that all of the m's are grouped together and their & value displayed
in decending value. And like wize all of the F's. The I can copy the top 5
Male scores and the top 5 female scores to the appropriate report page. I
have tried using the sort function but can't seem to get it to work properly.
Can anyone help????

Hi Kevin

Click on all 3 column letters, to select the columns.
DataSortSort by column A Descending then by column C descending.

If you have headers in row 1, ensure the header row is clicked, and
instead of column letters, you will see the header name as the Sort by
options.
