Sorting By a range of rows
 

This I am sure is the simplest thing, but it does not seem to be for
me. I am trying to sort a worksheet by dates but my dates have a
different amount of rows in between them all.

Example:
11/29



8/23



1/11



1/14



4/25



6/14



6/22



9/19



11/29



It says that I can not sort cells that are not the same size, there are
several columns in this worksheet. Do I
group the rows together? I am totally lost. Please help.

Sorting By a range of rows
 
Sounds like you have some "merged" cells in your range.

On a copy of the worksheet...............

Select the several columns and FormatCellsAlignment.

Uncheck "merge"

See what happens after this step.
