Excel 2007: Sorting Rows

52 New Member
By default, Excel allows you to sort your data by columns. If you run into a situation that requires that you sort the rows, you could do it by hand or let Excel do it for you.


1. Highlight the data to be sorted.


2. Go to the Ribbon and select the Data tab.


3. In the Sort & Filter section, select Sort.

4. In the Sort window, click the Options button.



5. In the Orientation section, select the Sort left to right radio button.


6. Click the OK button.

7. Now use the dropdowns in the Sort window to select the desired row and how you want it sorted.

8. Click the OK button.

Is there a question here or are you just explaining how to do this for people?

This is the insights section, so I'm pretty sure it's an explanation.

No, I don't want to destroy them (funny how the word 'decimate' has changed definition over the years) :). We have a data acquisition program that saves its output to Excel's ..xls format. Unfortunately, the programmer was too stupid to write files the average user can read. I'd like some advice on how to go about: 1. Reading a large Excel file and chop it into many Excel files (with only 65535 lines per file)

I have installed Office 2007 on my machine and when I open Excel 2007 I still have 256 columns and 65,536 rows. I know in the 2007 version that you have the ability to have more than this. If I add new rows and colulmns it will not insert any additional ones. If I open a workbook that someone else has created in Excel 2007 I see over 1,000,000 rows and more than 256 columns. How do I add these additional rows to my new workbooks in 2007?...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
