Choose the column to sort by in the dialogue that pops up. Further explained with pictures in the first link that is returned if you make a Google search on excel data sort http://www.contextures.com/xlSort01.html Hope this helps / Lars-Åke |

There's a drop down box for that. The specifics depend on which version of
Excel you have. In 2007, DataSortSort byColumn A Regards, Fred "Vicki" wrote in message ...

Sorting Alphabetically
Hi,
Here are two other ways that don't require the Sort dialog box: 1. If your data is well organized with one row of titles just select a single cell in the column you want to sort on and click the Ascending or Descending sort buttons. You don't necessarily need to select all the data before sorting, if the data is set up correctly. 2. Select all the data and then press the Tab key until the active cell is in the column you want to sort on then click the Ascending or Descending sort buttons. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.
