How do I sort with empty rows between none empty rows?
 

I have a report I am trying to sort. The problem is I have inserted rows in
between texted rows to kind of make it look better. Now I am trying to sort
and it sorts all the texted rows together, without the inserted empty rows in
between. I took an Excel class and the teacher showed us how to sort
something like this. I don't remeber how to do this. Please help!

How do I sort with empty rows between none empty rows?
 

This might be easier.....

If the only purpose of the blank rows is to provide space between records:
Eliminate the blank rows and make the row heights larger.
That will achieve the same effect and reduce the effort for navigating
within the report.

To eliminate all the blank rows:
Select the first column of the report range
Press the [F5] key....(that's the shortcut for <edit<go to)
Click the [Special] button and Check: Blanks
Click the [OK] button

While all the blanks are still selected...
<edit<delete<entire rows

Sort your list
Then..select the list range and change the row heights where appropriate.

Is that something you can work with?
