How to unsort my excel columns after save changes?
 

If I save changes to the excel file after sorting, I can't able to unsort it
as original. Is there any option to do so in excel?

You cannot undo the sort after saving. The best to do before sorting, is to
add an ID column with numbers running from 1. Then if you want to restore
your sort, you can then sort on this column.

Hi

As sorting in Excel means overwriting all data in new order - definitely no!
The only option is undo - which doesn't help you after you saved the file.

Hi Raffi

Before sorting add an additional column numbered 1 - ?, you can the
re-sort on that column

Thank you for your reply,

But I thought that there couldl be an index file that can be attached with
the original file or any other supporting key file would generate
simultaneoustly when we sort a columnn.

thanks

Hi

Excel is a spreadsheet, not a database. There is no indexing built in - you
can look at it as at a (selection of) big unstructured 2-dimesional table(s)
(you can implement your own pseudo-structure of-course). It's strong side is
calculating many formulas simultanously, and extreme design flexibility.
