I have the following table:
2 A 2 A 1 A 2 A 1 B 2 B 1 A 1 A 2 A 1 B 1 B 1 A 2 A 2 B 1 A 2 B 2 A 2 B 2 B 1 B 2 B 1 A 2 B 2 A 2 A 1 A 1 A 1 B 1 B 2 A 1 B 1 B After I sort on column A, B and C I get: 1 A 1 A 1 A 1 B 1 A 2 A 1 A 2 B 1 B 1 A 1 B 1 B 1 B 2 B 1 B 2 A 2 A 1 B 2 A 1 A 2 A 2 A 2 A 2 B 2 A 2 B 2 B 1 B 2 B 1 A 2 B 2 A I want to include column D into the sort. Right now the sort is wrong on row 7 and after that few more rows. How to sort so that column D is sorted and column A, B and C also remain sorted? Thanks. |

Okay nevermind, First I have to sort on D and minor ones. Then I have to apply the major sort as the last sort, working my way out backwards. |

Sort twice.
First time sort by D, then the second do your "normal" sort. wrote: I have the following table: 2 A 2 A 1 A 2 A 1 B 2 B 1 A 1 A 2 A 1 B 1 B 1 A 2 A 2 B 1 A 2 B 2 A 2 B 2 B 1 B 2 B 1 A 2 B 2 A 2 A 1 A 1 A 1 B 1 B 2 A 1 B 1 B After I sort on column A, B and C I get: 1 A 1 A 1 A 1 B 1 A 2 A 1 A 2 B 1 B 1 A 1 B 1 B 1 B 2 B 1 B 2 A 2 A 1 B 2 A 1 A 2 A 2 A 2 A 2 B 2 A 2 B 2 B 1 B 2 B 1 A 2 B 2 A I want to include column D into the sort.

One other option is if you can add another column which is the concatenation
of all columns you want to sort. =A1&B1&C1&D1 You then sort just on that column that you added.
