I have gotten my columns to have lists, but each column's data is linked with
the next. I don't know how to make sure that when I sort one column
(ascending/descending order) that the appropriate data in the other 2 colums
will also be sorted. Can someone please help me out.

Hi

when sorting i have 2 rules,
1) click on one cell in your data range only or select the whole data
range - don't select just a column
2) don't use the A-Z Z-A buttons on the toolbar, always use Data / Sort

Cheers

The only sure way is to select all pertinent columns prior to the sort.

Or select all columns period by CTRL + A(twice in 2003)

If you cannot remember to do that, have a backup ready or quickly hit the
"Undo" button.
