To do a sort, simply use the DataSort command. Make sure the active cell is in
the table you want to sort. It will help if you use a header row to identify the
columns. Then sort by column C (presumably in descending order as you want the
highest number of wins on top).

BTW plurals in English do not have an apostrophe, as in: Standings, wins,
losses, Brigadiers (and notates).

bear with me here... how i do the sort and have the accompany columns sort
with column c ? ? ?
column a is the team
column d are the losses
column e % of win's losses
column f points for
column g points against

the header is teams - wins - losses - % - points for - points against

Highlight one of the cells in your table. Then choose DataSort...

Excel will automatically highlight all of the adjacent cells. This is the table
it will sort. Excel will move the whole row when it sorts on column c, so the
cells in the row will stay together.

If your table has blank cells in it, Excel may not choose exactly what you want.
In this case, highlight the whole table before you execute DataSort...
