Default Sorting Columns

Select the row containing the date *AND ALL* the other rows below,
containing the data, then:

<Data <Sort <Options,
Under Orientation, click on "Sort Left To Right",
Then <OK,
Then, make sure the row containing the dates is in the top sort window,
Then click on "Descending",
Then <OK.

Hi Ragdyer,

You answered my question, I was'nt sorting in decending order. I assumed
this would sort top to botom not right to left.

Cheers,
kfh.
