Do I need to sort data for vlookup porpose?

You only *need* to sort your data if you want an approximate match if an
exact match isn't found. If you only expect to use data with exact matches
then you do not need to sort. However, sorting makes the function work
faster.

And I'm sure Biff also meant to add,

With an unsorted data set though, you do need to also set the 4th
parameter in Vlookup to 0 or FALSE.

=VLOOKUP(your_value,your_range,your_offset,0)
