Simple question. While entering data in
column form with the titles below:

Last Name First Name Address City etc.


I then request it to sort all the last names in descending order. How do I
prevent it from including the "Last" as an entree?

ie.

Gorden
Jones
Last
Miller
Simms

Thanks Bert

And make sure that the Sort dialog box is marked that it has a header row.

Make sure that you check
"Header Row" under
"My List Has",

And, it pays to use a different format for your headers,
like bold and/or increase the font size.

This helps XL recognize the existence of headers.
