I have trouble in organizing a worksheet on excel:
I have a list of names, and underneath few rows with details about the
names. I grouped them so that i can only see the names. But now i cannot get
the names in alphabetical order. how can i do to have both the grouped rows
and the names in alphabetical order? (the details under the names should also
follow the names when sorted in alphabetical order.)
thank you for your help.
 
Hi

Redesign your worksheet as a table, where all data for every person are on a
single row - a certain type of data in certain column. So you also avoid
much of trouble later, when you want p.e. get some person data into another
table, or when you want to generate some summary data.

Also, when you need a view that's easier for somebody to read, you can use
(for example) Excel pivot table or Word mail merge.
