Default Data Sortin Problem

Hello,

In case of sorting large data alphabetically, once I do sorting function of
data by name in column A it creates two sorted lists, for example 100 names,
it sorts 20 from A to Z and than remaining 80 names AGAIN from A to Z. I
cant get it sort the entire document in one list. Please help and thank you
in advance!!

Default Data Sortin Problem

look out for the cells that may be starting with a space.
On the first line of A column. In some othe rcolumn, type
=trim(a)
then index on this new column and see the difference.
if it works perfect, then rest assured that some your data contains a blank
in the beginning of the data.

click yes below, if it works
