Default Sorting

I would like to create a workbook where I can click on the cells in row one
(the column names) and the workbook will sort the whole row according to the
values in the column. For example, I use Money 2002, and if I click on Num,
Date, or Payee, it will sort each row of data by the Number, Date, or Payee
column. In Excel, I only know how to sort each column individually, so when
I sort a column alphabetically, it doesn't move the other columns along with
them. This would be like sorting in Money by Payee but instead only the
Payees are sorted alphabetically, and the number and date values don't move
with it. I apologize for not knowing how to describe what I am trying to do
with the appropriate technical language. I have tried to learn about sorting
but it all seems very complicated. If I could learn just this one trick, I
could get my household organized without having to spend 10 hours learning
about sorting in Excel. I would be happy to read an Excel training online
but I have looked through them and I don't know which to read although I have
spent a few hours browsing and reading the wrong ones, or maybe not
understanding well enough. I am great with Outlook and all the others but
this one task eludes me. Thank you so much.
