Default In Excel, sorting columns automatically by clicking column title

I need to create an Excel worksheet that the whole document can be
automatically sorted when the user clicks on one of column titles. My
thought is that the column titles would, in a sense, be buttons that can be
depressed, thereby sorting the entire document based on the column clicked
on. Kind of like MS Outlooks way of organizing e-mail.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Destiny,

You could record a macro that sorts the table, then put a button in the
header and assign the button to that macro. Do do the sort carefully --
Please. Use Data - Sort, not the toolbar buttons, unless you really know
what you're doing. And don't mind losing your job over a ruined table.

It's also possible, though more difficult, to set it up so that the user
need only click in your header to run the sort macro.
