Hi,
The best way I have found to keep a group together is to creat another
field, column, and give each group a unique ID.

Thanks,

You're right, i did that before and it worked. But i did have a quick
question about a helper column like that. the group will all have the same
value in that additional column. will excel always keep the order within the
group the same?

Hi,
Maybe you can use two cheater columns? Have not tried it, but I think a 1A,
1B, 1C, 2A, 2B, 3B, etc might work too.

Thanks,
