sort by zip code
 

I have my high school classlist on an excel speadsheet..in alphabetical
order..with address and zip codes included. I want to sort the classlist by
zip code,but when I
try to sort I get a "this operation requires the cells to be identically
sized" I'm sorry,
but what does this mean and how can I sort by zip code?

You usually get that when there a merged cells in the list.

You have some merged cells in there somewhere.

Unmerge them and the message will go away.
