Yes, there is a way to sort columns independently of each other in Microsoft Excel. Here's how you can do it:

1. Select the entire range of data that you want to sort.
2. Click on the Data tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
3. Click on the Sort button in the Sort & Filter section.
4. In the Sort dialog box, select the column that you want to sort by from the Sort by drop-down list.
5. Choose the sort order (ascending or descending) from the Order drop-down list.
6. Click on the Add Level button to add another column to sort by.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 for each additional column that you want to sort by.
8. Click on the OK button to apply the sorting to your data.

By following these steps, you can sort each column independently of the others, and Excel will not take into account the data in the other columns when sorting. In your example, you would select the entire range of data (), and then sort by column A, then by column B, and finally by column C. This would give you the updated table that you provided.
