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

thousand rows. How can I sort the file based on 10 columns? Thanks.- Hide quoted text -
