Default Automatically put rows containing a number in numerical order

Hi

I track results for a Pool League team. Is it possible to automatically
move rows depending on a cell containing a highest number. In the table
below thay have all played 3 games.

Is it possible to move the rows so that they are in numerical order
depending on who has won the most (Column B)

Also if someone is on the same highest amount then it will move on the least
number of games they have played (Column A)

A B C D
1 Name Played Won Lost
2 JOHN 2 0 2
3 FRED 4 3 1
4 SUSAN 3 3 0
5 ALAN 3 1 2

Thanks

Select the table, (A1:D5) and click DATA in the menu & select SORT. In the
SORT dialog box, click the HEADER ROW option button so it recognizes your
column titles.

From the SORT BY combo box select WON as the sort column and from the first
THEN BY combo box select PLAYED. Click OK to sort.

You can record this process as a macro and assign it to a key combintation
to make the process more automated.

you could create a pivot table based upon the data. When you change the data,
you could refresh the pivot, and the data would be automatically sorted in
asceding/descebnding order.
