Click in one of the cells of the data, any one it doesnt matter.

Go to Data, Sort.

In the Sort By Field select Column D (If you have Column headings, then
select the header row in the My Data Has area)

Ensure the Ascending Radio Button is selected and click OK

This would also work using Column H as well but selecting the Descending
radio button
