How to Sort in Excel?

Sorting is used to reorder our data in excel. We can easily reorder the data based on the type of sorting that we choose. We have two methods to sort the data.

Method 1:

Below are the steps to sort the given data in Excel:

Select a single cell anywhere in the range that you want to sort.

Note: If there are merged cells in your data, unmerge the cells before applying the Sort operation.

Select Data menu and select Sort from Sort & Filter group.

In the Sort by list, select the first column on which you want to sort. (You can click on Add Level to include additional number of columns to sort).
In the Sort On list, select the desired field from the drop down (ValuesCell ColorFont Color, or Cell Icon).
In the Order list, select the order that you want to apply to the sort operation (A to Z or Z to A for text, lower to higher or higher to lower for numbers).

Check the field My data has headers if your data has headers included.
Click OK.
