Have you
ever wanted to sort a list of data into different categories. For example, sort
a grocery list by the location of each item in the store, or a budget by
largest to smallest expenses, or a list of students alphabetically. This
Technology Tip will help you sort lists of information in Excel:
1)
Open the excel file you wish to sort.
2)
Highlight all of the data you want to
sort
3)
Select “Data” and then “Sort” from the
menu bar:
4)
Choose what you’d like to sort by, then
click “OK”. For example, you could sort the list by “HR” to see what
"home room" the students on this list are in. Or, you could sort
the list in ascending or descending alphabetical order by last names.
