Assistance with Alphabetizing a Library Worksheet
Goal: To have the option of an alphabetical list of books by titles or an
alphabetical list of books by authors. Problem: Column A lists the book titles. Column B lists the authors. These must obviously stay together. When column A is alphabetized, how do I get column B to follow column A and visa versa? (column C is Checked-Out, column d is Checked-In, column E is church member name) Therefore, the ultimate goal is to be able to change the worksheet to glance and see who has a book out (by bringing all the checked-out to the top, or any alpahbetized list needed.

Just be sure to select the entire range of values before sorting. That means
columns A through E "bandre" wrote: Goal: To have the option of an alphabetical list of books by titles or an alphabetical list of books by authors. Problem: Column A lists the book titles.

You can sort on any column you wish. IMPORTANT.........just make sure you have selected all columns before sorting. Do not let Excel guess what your range is. Having said that, I will now say that DataFilterAutofilter would be a better tool to use in your case. You can then filter for just the Book or Author or Checked in or Checked out or Member Name.
