Answer 1

Explanation:

Sorting Data

For a quick sort, click the arrow below the Sort & Filtering icon in the Editing group of the Home ribbon and choose the Sort A to Z / Z to A icons in the Sort & Filter group of the Data ribbon. In Excel 2013, these are labeled Sort Smallest to Largest and vice versa.

For a more complex sort, go to the Home ribbon, click the arrow below the Sort & Filter icon in the Editing group and choose Custom Sort. This takes you to the same Sort dialog box you get with the Sort icon in the Sort & Filter group of the Data ribbon.

1. Under Column, choose the first column that you would like to sort. If you want to sort multiple columns, click the Add Level button.

2. Under Sort On, choose how you would like to sort. Note that Excel can sort by cell or font color in addition to values.

3. Under Order, choose A to Z (ascending), Z to A (descending), or Custom List.

4. Click OK to perform the sort.
