Adding more sort fields to the SORT Dialog Box
Does anyone know if there is a way to add more sort fields to the sort dialog
box? I have a spreadsheet that I need to sort and it would be a lot easier if I could sort four different columns. |

Adding more sort fields to the SORT Dialog Box
I don't think it can be done...
Suppose you want to sort on AxBxCxDxE You need to sort on the lower importance columns (D and E) first and then on the higher importance (A and B) to get what you want "Doug V." wrote: Does anyone know if there is a way to add more sort fields to the sort dialog box?

Adding more sort fields to the SORT Dialog Box
Actually, it can be done, but you need to create a custom sort order. It is
fairly well detailed in the HELP section, do a search on SORT, then select USE YOUR OWN DATA AS THE SORT ORDER. -- John C "Doug V." wrote: Does anyone know if there is a way to add more sort fields to the sort dialog box?

Adding more sort fields to the SORT Dialog Box
To clarify, it doesn't add more sort fields to the dialog box, but it does
allow a single sort for more than 3 fields at one time. -- John C "John C" wrote: Actually, it can be done, but you need to create a custom sort order.
